Participants' experience of the Trinidad and Tobago educational leadership project (TTELP): a case study
Notice bibliographique
Résumé
AbstractThis qualitative case study investigated participants' perceptions of the impact of a three-year leadership development programme on their professional lives. The Trinidad and Tobago Educational Leadership Project (TTELP) was an internationally funded leadership development initiative directed by a McGill University-Université de Montréal consortium and delivered in Trinidad by a team of experts from the two Canadian universities. The objectives of TTELP were to equip the group of school principals, vice-principals and mid-level managers from the Ministry of Education with the skills to manage the government's programme of restructuring and decentralization of the secondary education system. The theoretical framework used in this study was Lave and Wenger's (1991) communities of practice. This social-constructivist framework is consistent with the new paradigm in leadership which views it as non-hierarchical and its development as an ongoing, systemic imperative. Data for this study were collected from an online survey followed by in-depth telephone interviews with nine participants. The semi-structured interview questions allowed participants to discuss their previous leadership development activities, their expectations and actual experience of TTELP and the implementation of the new knowledge and skills that they had acquired. The research questions that framed this study were: "What new knowledge and skills did the participants feel they had acquired?" and "To what extent have they been able to apply them in their schools?" Data from the survey and interviews with TTELP participants were triangulated with data from interviews with the two directors of the project, a National Lead Scholar and three teachers working under one of the participating principals. Findings from this study showed that participants felt that their knowledge base in leadership had improved significantly and their leadership skills had been enhanced by TTELP. They reported a strong degree of satisfaction with the programme, especially with the instructors. The two aspects of the programme for which there were the strongest criticisms were the lack of time to do all that they needed to do during the programme and the absence of certification at the end of it. Key components of TTELP were evaluated using Leskiw and Singh's (2007) six-point model for evaluating leadership development programmes. Findings confirm the usefulness of these programmes in preparing educational leaders and building leadership capacity. The results also highlight the potential for problematic relationships and unsatisfactory outcomes in international programmes unless programme developers are able to forge collaborative partnerships with local counterparts and design programmes that are conspicuously sensitive to the needs of the international context. This study contributes to the existing knowledge base in leadership development by extending it to the developing world through an analysis of the Trinidad and Tobago Educational Leadership Project.Keywords: Leadership, leadership development, international partnerships, communities of practice.

Imitation des enseignantsNi prévalence calibrée, ni vérité terrain. Validation humaine à venir. Le volet Gemma est une étiquette directe du modèle pour chaque travail de la base, lue sur la notice réduite au titre. Le volet Codex est un classifieur appris des 10 348 étiquettes directes de Codex et calibré sur les taux pondérés de l'échantillon; les champs sans appui suffisant ne portent aucun appel Codex. Le mode candidate est l'union des deux volets; le consensus est leur intersection. Ces sorties portent le statut machine_predicted_unvalidated et ne sont pas des étiquettes humaines.
