Leadership for Access as School Quality


For the last few decades, the field of educational leadership has been focused on linking a common set of school leader behaviors to student achievement. This approach has not accounted for varying school needs or mediating outcomes which define processes that lead to student success. Two main issues in this literature can be addressed to extend findings on how leaders might improve schools. First, leadership varies across school contexts beyond long-established styles to meet community needs. Second, complex processes and inputs in schools influence the extent that students have access to opportunities to learn content and skills. Investigations of school quality which include a comprehensive framework of leadership and organizational variables to attend to this variation might shift the ways in which we measure it in policy and structure improvement in practice.

Angela Urick is an assistant professor at the University of Oklahoma in the Department of Educational Leadership and Policy Studies where she trains school, district and state/policy leaders in the Educational Administration, Curriculum and Supervision program. She specializes in the application of advanced quantitative methods to the study of leadership for school improvement. Her research interests include principal and teacher perceptions of leadership, leadership styles, shared instructional leadership, school climate, organizational and social structures in schools, teacher retention, school facilities, and school improvement. She earned her doctorate in educational leadership and policy studies at the University of Texas at San Antonio.
