The Distributed Leadership Study
   
 

 

School Staff Network Survey
The School Staff Network Survey focuses on mathematics instruction for the middle school grades (grades 6-8) and investigates the sources of instructional leadership that influence teacher instructional practice. The survey is administered and completed online and takes approximately 30 minutes to complete. Questions pertain to activities and opinions related to school leadership in instructional improvement, expertise in mathematics leadership and the conditions associated with each. The survey specifically asks participants to indicate the people, resources, and activities they seek out to gain information and advice related to teaching math, reading/writing/language arts, and other subjects. Revision and validation of this instrument is ongoing. Older versions of the survey are available; please contact us for more information.

Instructional Leadership Daily Practice Log

The goal of the Instructional Leadership Daily Practice Log is to document some of the interactions that influence the knowledge, practice and motivation of instructional leaders and school staff . Administrators and teachers are asked to complete the log to capture the nature of their interactions. Each day participants are asked to log one interaction per hour that they had with a colleague, group or resource that influenced their knowledge, practice or motivation or that was intended to influence the knowledge, practice or motivation of a colleague. Participants are also asked to note what prompted the interaction, who was involved, how it took place, what transpired, and the academic area it pertained to. Revision and validation of this instrument is ongoing.

Principal Experience Sampling Method (ESM) Log
The goal of the ESM log is to determine the activity of the participants at a specific moment in time with a series of signals.  Using handheld computers (PDA), participants are beeped at randomly selected times throughout the workday alerting them to fill out a brief questionnaire programmed on the PDA.  The questionnaire asks participants to document the type of administrative or curricular activity in which they are currently engaged.
