Objective(s): To learn more about how principals in the Northwest Territories perceive and act out their roles as educational leaders. Recent movement towards the decentralization of and expanded community involvement in northern education place new responsibilities on the principal. The research will provide greater understanding of the kinds of leadership style and character of successful, currently practicing, northern principals.
Project Description: The research strategy for this project will be one that facilitates open and naturalistic inquiry. As a qualitative research study, it will draw on emerging themes as they are gained through individual interviews with principals in the N.W.T. This naturalistic study will include thick description of contextual data gathered through interviews and analysis of documents. A limited pilot project study will be undertaken to gather preliminary data and refine interview questions and the practice of interviewing.
