Informal Teacher Leaders: Who They Are, What They Do, and How They Impact Teaching and Learning

Educators in PK–12 schools were surveyed to seek their perceptions of colleagues who they considered informal teacher leaders, defined as leaders who were not appointed to a leadership role by a school or district administrator. The survey asked administrators, educational specialists, and teachers working in PK–12 schools across four states to share their perceptions of informal teacher leaders’ leadership activities, personal and professional attributes, relationships with other educators, and impact. Open, axial, and selective coding were used to analyze the respondents’ open-ended survey responses, and themes were developed relative to research topics. The respondents reported that the informal teacher leaders they identified engaged in important leadership activities at the individual, team, and school levels. The informal teacher leaders were described by respondents as passionate, caring, efficient, open to others, and professional. A variety of specific types of leadership knowledge and skills were attributed to the informal teacher leaders. Relationships of the informal teacher leaders with other educators were characterized as respectful, trusting, and warm, and the informal leaders’ working relationships with other teachers and school administrators were considered positive. The respondents reported a variety of positive impacts of informal teacher leaders on students, teachers, and the school. Although many of the leadership activities, attributes, relationships, and impacts of informal teacher leaders parallel those of formal teacher leaders, a number of distinctions also were identified indicating some differentiation of roles and functions. Recommendations are made for educator programs, principals, and future research.

A New Civil Rights Campaign? Policies and Practices to Support Students’ Gender Diversity

Ms. Barnard is faced with a complex dilemma. The district administrator in charge of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) initiatives and support was presented with a case of a transgender student who wished to attend an overnight field trip and share a room with other students based on her gender identity. Although the district had made previous headway in formatting district policies to fit the needs of transgender students, no procedural directive was available to respond to this new situation. In addition, the superintendent of the district was unsupportive of transgender students. The case was developed for an educational leadership course so that students can discuss the legal issues, role and value conflicts, and theoretical perspective informing policy and practice.

District Administrators' Perspectives on the Impact of The Local Control Funding Formula on English Learners

Two years into implementation, this policy brief examines how California’s Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) and its accompanying Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) meet the needs of English Learners (ELs). Researchers seek to understand district administrator perspectives on the impact of LCFF for ELs through interviews and focus groups with administrators that represent districts from Northern, Central, and Southern California. Findings reveal that although the LCAP serves as a mechanism to increase personnel and PD efforts to address EL needs, it is still largely viewed as a compliance document that requires alignment with other strategic documents and is sensitive to changes in leadership. The following policy recommendations are made as a result of these findings: 1) re-design the LCAP to support districts in specifying EL learning goals, services, assessments and expected outcomes; 2) differentiate support for district administrators; and 3) invest (long-term) in district-level and site-level professional development with a focus on EL success.

From Jesus to Shylock: Christian Supersessionism and “The Merchant of Venice”

In 1943 the SS Gauleiter, “district administrator,” of Vienna, Baldur von Schirach, commissioned a performance of The Merchant of Venice at the famed Burgtheater to celebrate the deportation of allthe Jews;Vienna had become Judenrein “cleansed of Jews.” When Werner Krauss, the Nazis'leading actor, first appeared on stage as Shylock, he made the audience shudder. According to the newspaper account:With a crash and a weird train of shadows, something revoltingly alien and startlingly repulsive crawled across the stage…. The pale pink face, surrounded by bright red hair and beard, with its unsteady, cunning little eyes;the greasy caftan with the yellow prayershawl slung round; the splay-footed, shuffling walk; the foot stamping with rage; the claw-like gestures with the hands; the voice, now bawling, now muttering—all add up to a pathological image of the East European Jewish type, expressing all its inner and outer uncleanliness, emphasizing danger through humor.
