Abstract

Sustaining professional learning communities (PLCs) focused on data use is a challenge for schools. Sustainability is achieved by making the PLC’s core components evident in schools’ organizational routines. Leadership can support sustainability according to literature, but it is unclear what leadership for sustainability looks like in practice. We therefore investigated what sustainable data use PLCs and leadership look like in three secondary schools, and explored how leadership influences sustainable data use PLCs. A mixed methods design (observations, social network questionnaire, school documents) was used to gain in-depth insight. The findings show that sustainability is difficult to achieve at both the ostensive and performative level. The schools differed in the form of sustainability they achieved. A broad set of leadership practices (e.g., organize meetings, participate actively in PLC, know content and procedure) were carried out in interplay by both formal and informal leaders.

可持续数据利用学校专业学习社区:领导力实践的作用
维持专注于数据使用的专业学习社区(PLC)对学校来说是一项挑战。可持续性是通过使PLC的核心组成部分在学校的组织程序中显而易见来实现的。根据文献,领导力可以支持可持续性,但尚不清楚领导力在实践中是什么样子的。因此,我们调查了三所中学的可持续数据使用PLC和领导力,并探讨了领导力如何影响可持续数据使用PLCs。采用混合方法设计(观察、社交网络问卷、学校文件)来获得深入的见解。研究结果表明,无论是在明示层面还是在表演层面,可持续性都很难实现。学校在可持续性方面有所不同。一系列广泛的领导实践(例如,组织会议、积极参与PLC、了解内容和程序)在正式和非正式领导人的相互作用下进行。
