Purpose: This study provides cross-country evidence regarding the extent to which distributed leadership operates in schools globally and offers preliminary insights about country education policies that explain the reported distributed leadership results. The researchers also investigate the relationship between principals' reports of distributed…

The concept of distributed leadership articulates principals need to develop a shared vision and empower the teachers with expertise to build strong organizational capacity. Though empirical evidence grows steadily, there still lacks the complete evidence on how each of the school leadership responsibilities is actually distributed among the…

This analysis plan proposes the specifications for analysis for various studies using the third cycle of the Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS 2018) data. It serves as a link between the "TALIS 2018 Conceptual Framework" and the reporting plan. After a brief introduction in Section 1, Sections 2 and 3 suggest analyses for…

The purpose of this study was to examine the possible effects of the simultaneous inclusion of self and other ratings of principal instructional leadership on teachers' self-efficacy beliefs. Special attention was given to the case where principal and teacher ratings were incongruent and exhibited a self-other rating disagreement regarding the…
