| Abstract | This study examined the impact of working with a CLASS coach on an urban school principal's learning centered leadership practice. This mixed-methods case study investigated the following three questions: 1) How does working with a CLASS leadership coach influence leadership practices of urban school principals? 2) In what ways does the leadership practice influence the professional practice of teachers? 3) In what ways does leadership practice influence and incorporate the values of the faculty and community?; The principal worked with a CLASS trained coach three months during the period of data collection. The effects of the coaching were measured using the online Vanderbilt Assessment of Leadership in Education (VAL-Ed) survey, an instrument that provided a summary of the principal's and the teachers' perceptions of the leader's effectiveness on learning-focused leadership behaviors that have been found to correlate with student achievement (Murphy, 2007). In addition, qualitative data were collected from principal and teacher interviews.; There was some evidence to indicate that the coaching positively impacted the principal's practice of effective leadership behaviors. Effects of the coaching on the principal's behaviors included: 1) the principal devoted increased amounts of time to classroom observations and provided teachers with positive, immediate feedback; 2)the principal paced additional focus on staff development and trained teachers to be the leaders of his kind of professional development; 3) the principal placed an increased emphasis on data analysis and next steps to meet the needs of the learners. There was some evidence that these conditions had a positive influence on the teachers' practice; however, the extent to which these practices were impacted could not be determined. Additionally, there was some evidence that the leader incorporated some of the values and beliefs of the faculty and community into the decision making process. |
