Racial Representation of School Principals
This brief explores the racial proportionality of principals compared to students, teachers, and the workforce, with focus on the composition of age cohorts. We examine representational capacity nationwide and in Texas to see if disproportionalities are aligned with differences in population composition by age. Results show (a) fewer working-age adults are able to represent Black and Hispanic children given age-cohort differences; (b) principals …
Comparing cultures of school leadership effectiveness
Knowing when to step in
Increasing attention worldwide has been paid to strategies for improving teacher retention as shortages reach critical levels. While a large body of research has focused on the conditions that lead to teacher turnover, little attention has been paid to the warning signs of teacher exits. In response, this paper aims to demonstrate how teachers behave in response to specific sources of workplace dissatisfaction, so that leaders may recognise highl…

Why teachers leave
With all the talk of turnover and shortages, it would be easy to think that many teachers have simply given up on education. Yet, despite the myriad challenges teachers have faced recently, this is not the case: Teachers care about their work as much as ever. Andrew Pendola, David Marshall, Tim Pressley, and Deja Trammell present a new narrative suggesting that there is no shortage of teacher dedication, even if some are leaving. They provide str…

Early opportunities and fourth-grade success
To ensure all children can be successful in school and beyond, states have increasingly supported and expanded pre-kindergarten (pre-k) programs aimed and improving student outcomes and reducing disparities. While research has shown generally positive short-term outcomes for specific programs, state design and support for pre-k programs varies widely across the US, making cross-state comparisons difficult. As a means to better inform state policy…
Homeward Bound? Rural Principal Hiring, Transfer, and Turnover Patterns in Texas
Spending in Lean Times
The intention of this paper is to add to existing knowledge of how building-level spending is prioritized toward horizontal and vertical equity during severe economic downturns. Using a sample of all public schools in Texas during the Great Recession, we examine how schools undergoing the greatest spending reductions reallocated their spending on academic programs. Results demonstrate that schools undergoing financial shocks respond mainly by rea…
Policy and principal turnover
Accountability policies in education play a significant role for the principals tasked with facilitating the implementation of these reforms at the school-level. While these policies are most often intended to improve student outcomes, this is not always the case. In some instances, these policies can prove detrimental to schools, yet principals are still responsible for compliance. In Texas, a federal investigation found the Texas Education Agen…
Levinas, bureaucracy, and the ethics of school leadership
Given present criticisms of contemporary education and leadership practices, this article investigates the ways in which the basic concepts of state freedom and bureaucracy stifle ethics and social justice in educational leadership practices through the philosophical framework of Emmanuel Levinas. By investigating Levinas’ ‘an-archy’, the definition of ethics and justice in school leadership can be reframed towards responsibility to otherness rat…
