Distributing Leadership to Support Instructional Change
Discussions of comprehensive school reform and distributed leadership have been dominated by descriptions of what they are and what forms they take. Now a plausible case can be made that distributing leadership to teachers can support instructional change, says UW–Madison education professor Eric Camburn.
In a 2008 study, Camburn determined that configuring and activating teacher leadership positions can support the adoption of specific instructional practices advocated by the America’s Choice program.
The America’s Choice program distributes leadership responsibilities to teacher leaders in schools. How this comprehensive school reform program played out in a sample of urban elementary schools was Camburn’s question.

Artistic Production Spurs Youth Development
The study of learning environments that support positive youth development is a growing field in the U.S. A new Working Paper describes arts-based youth organizations , where youth construct adaptive, emergent identities. In these organizations, youth participate in the dramaturgical process—they tell, adapt, and perform personal narratives. This paper argues that the dramaturgical process is a powerful learning environment for understanding positive youth development. Read the Working Paper here. |
