The Creation of a Professional Learning Community for School Leaders

The emphasis in this research was placed on learning the processes and meanings of what the principals experienced throughout their participation in a sustained professional development model intended to build leadership capacity that embodies the tenets of how the role of the principalship is now defined. The researcher placed a strong focus on the interpretation of how principals understood the context of their constructed reality (Rowlands, 2005), and how they made meaning of the job-embedded professional development attained through the implementation of the model.
The author of this book, representing her institution of higher education, partnered together to leverage an opportunity that would lead to building leadership capacity of the stakeholders who participated in this project. This book unveiled the journey and told the story of the partnership and the remarkable principals who willingly participated in this project. Without the individual and collective contributions of the associate superintendent and the principals, this sustained partnership would not be possible.
The author strived to capture the story of the principals and the complex transformational process of the cohesive efforts reflected in this project. The
commitment to stay together throughout the years when stakes were high revealed the rare level of allegiance forged between two institutions with differing priorities and perspectives.
