The participating countries were: Australia, Canada, China, Hungary, Israel, Japan, Netherlands, Singapore, South Africa, and United States. Each country administered mirror versions of a questionnaire to samples of at least 50 principals and at least 100 teachers. The questionnaires listed twenty items describing change responsibilities in which teachers might become involved. For each item, both principals and teachers assigned two teacher involvement ratings: their personal preference, and their estimate of the preference of their role counterpart. These involvement ratings produced four dependent variables: Principal Preferences, Principal Estimates, Teacher Preferences, and Teacher Estimates. For each variable, item responses were clustered to form index sub-scores that measured attitudes toward five education domains: Administration and Coordination, Human Relations, Teacher Support, Classroom Learning, and Evaluation. Systematic planned comparisons were conducted to determine the most important principal-teacher issues within and between countries, and how issues change across index domains. Typical results indicate low awareness of each other?s aspirations and expectations. The first and last chapters of this book discuss the potential of teacher leaders to become agents of change within their own schools. Several social-psychological competencies are then described for these teachers in their work. 000726936 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000726936 650_0 $$aHigh school teachers$$xAttitudes$$vCross-cultural studies. 000726936 650_0 $$aHigh school principals$$xAttitudes$$vCross-cultural studies. 000726936 650_0 $$aEducational change$$vCross-cultural studies. 000726936 7001_ $$aMenlo, Allen,$$eeditor. 000726936 7001_ $$aCollet, LeVerne S.,$$eeditor. 000726936 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z946209957X$$z9789462099579$$z9789462099586$$z9462099588 000726936 852__ $$bebk 000726936 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-94-6209-959-3$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000726936 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:726936$$pGLOBAL_SET 000726936 980__ $$aEBOOK 000726936 980__ $$aBIB 000726936 982__ $$aEbook 000726936 983__ $$aOnline 000726936 994__ $$a92$$bISE
