Kelehear Publishes Latest Work on Arts-Based Leadership

Date Entered:

7/28/2008

Dr. Zachary Kelehear, Associate Professor, Department of Educational Leadership and Policies, has published an article titled: "Instructional leadership, connoisseurship and critique: using an arts-based approach to extend conversations about teaching" in the International Journal of Leadership in Education, Volume 11, Issue 3 July 2008 , pages 239 - 256.

Abstract: Recent teacher effectiveness research supports the notion that students learn best from teachers who can be characterized as managing both the craft and the artistic dimensions of learning. Additionally, there is a body of research that has examined possible strategies instructional leaders might use to support the development of the craft dimension. It is less clear, however, in what ways leaders might address the artistic dimensions of the classroom performance when working with teachers. Rooted in a theory of qualitative inquiry, the author presents a model for instructional leadership practice as connoisseurship and couples that private practice with the Feldman Method for art criticism to make public what is observed in classrooms. The results from a pilot study focusing on the level of implementation of arts-based leadership are included.

The International Journal of Leadership in Education is an international Journal for the publication of theoretical and practical discussions of educational leadership. It provides a forum for researchers and practitioner-researchers' to consider conceptual, methodological and practical issues in a range of professional and service settings and sectors. The journal publishes cutting-edge research on instructional supervision, curriculum and teaching development and educational administration. It offers a broad definition of leadership, including teachers as leaders, shared governance, site-based decision-making and community-school collaborations.
