Hi All, you really only need to read Chapter Four of my dissertation, "Innovation and Educational Leadership Challenge: A Developmental Approach" to prepare for next week and it is not too long, since there are a lot of charts and blank
spaces. If you want to read more than that, it will probably help,
you but we will concern ourselves mostly with the ideas in chapter
four.
Consider:
- How a process model like this might be useful in evaluating and
improving upon our leadership.
- The nature of challenges and how we can deal with them.
- What other writers have said about leadership challenges.
- Your personal ideas regarding a process model such as this.
- How focussing on processes such as these is likely to give us a
differing perspective on key aspects of leadership in education
Sir, according to your research project I am reading but unfinish. I have a question sir. At the part of the training process, there are six stages of each C, c1 c5 c3 .... ;in each stage there is questions. How did you get those questions come from? Do you create them, or...?
ReplyDeleteANSWER:
This is a great discussion point. Please note this and other issues
and we can go over some of it in class. The explanation would be very
lengthy, and somewhat difficult to understand, in an e-mail. Part of the answer is that since these are potential questions they are in part created and in part derived from the supplementary lit review and concerns expressed in interviewing practitioners.... Andy
Dear Ajarn Dr. Andy,
ReplyDeleteI have read the assignment for week 4 and have a question to confirm my understanding. The statement "a process model” in my standing is 10 Leadership Challenges (C1-C10), I do not know if this is correct.
I would appreciate you kind give me more explanation, and then I can go with the right direction.
Best Wishes,
Jackie
ANSWER:
Hi Jacki, There is a bit more to it than that, the challenges were the
starting point. Since mine was a developmental study I did not
actually end up with a new model. Not all doctoral studies result in
a model. Please bring your thoughts to class and we can spend some
time discussing them. This is a bit difficult and lengthy to explain
in an e-mail. If you read chapter one, it may help you understand the
study better. This is not required for the class, but if you want to
understand the study, it would help you. Also, note that, as the challenges were derived, they actually formed part of the findings in response to objective one, 'deriving challenges' to educational leader. Dr. Andy
Thank you very much for you kind acknowledgement.
