In this conceptual article, we draw on three psychological perspectives—cognitive, organizational, and developmental—to provide instructional leaders with an overview of the role of emotion in professional learning. Given the emotional complexities of teachers’ work, we explain how the affective aspects of learning are particularly salient during teachers’ professional learning opportunities. We provide instructional leaders with recommendations to optimize both the design and implementation of professional learning based on understandings of teachers’ emotions.","PeriodicalId":39340,"journal":{"name":"NASSP Bulletin","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49294664","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Scholars suggest a lack of responsive professional development as a leading factor in why principals leave the field. Further, the pandemic has exposed daily uncertainties for school leaders as they navigate new territory, bringing forth new considerations in how to best support their immediate needs and continued growth. While research shows that other fields, like healthcare and law enforcement, have utilized live and digital simulations for practitioners in technical skill development and responsive training, educational leadership has predominantly utilized passive simulation practice, like in-basket activities or role-playing during preparation programs. This article explores the current research regarding leadership development, providing context for the potential impact of simulation practice as a targeted professional development method that may extend beyond pre-service preparation and continue as learning pathways for in-service school leaders.","PeriodicalId":39340,"journal":{"name":"NASSP Bulletin","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44527525","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Salazar","doi":"10.1177/01926365221103917","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/01926365221103917","url":null,"abstract":"Principals play a crucial role in establishing the culture of a school and ensuring quality instruction and learning for each student. Articles in this issue of Bulletin offer unique ideas for principals to consider as they reflect on their work. It is my hope that readers will find new perspectives on how schooling can be improved and how the exercise of leadership influences this improvement. An effective school leader can ensure a high-quality inclusive school where all students have equitable access to effective instruction and receive the support they need to excel. In the lead article, researchers Soares, Harrison, Melloy, Baran, and Mohimann discuss the inclusion of students with emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD), consider barriers to effectiveness, and review legal mandates. A comprehensive list of recommendations is presented and described to assist administrators in overcoming the many barriers that school leaders often face when trying to develop an inclusive climate. Principals will find this article especially insightful for the many resources that can help them create and support inclusive school environments. Multiple research studies describe how effective instructional leadership relates to school performance. However, relatively few studies have examined the relationship between destructive leadership and instructional leadership. Researchers Wang and Merritt explore the two leadership approaches to determine if there is a possibility that destructive leaders can become effective instructional leaders. Results uncovered several prevalent destructive leadership behaviors and their relationship with ineffective instructional leadership. The article provides key information on what teachers believe are destructive leadership behaviors that result in ineffective instructional leadership. School leaders play a critical role in creating an environment that facilitates tolerant discussions of controversial political issues. Researcher Journell provides a review of the literature showing why the discussion of controversial topics is necessary in K–12 education and the influence of school leadership on that practice. Several implications for school leaders who wish to create a school environment that facilitates tolerant discussions of controversial political issues are presented. Principals will find this research enlightening and instructive as they work to structure teaching and learning in ways that help students gain critical thinking and civil discourse skills. Building a safe and caring learning community where students feel both physically and emotionally safe is key to students having a successful educational experience. However, numerous surveys and studies suggest many students do not feel safe in their school environment and as a result, student engagement and academic learning Editorial","PeriodicalId":39340,"journal":{"name":"NASSP Bulletin","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48120741","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Destructive leadership refers to a leader’s repeated behaviors that prioritize self-serving interests by undermining organizational interest and at the expense of harming subordinates.

Results of multiple regression analyses indicate that destructive leadership predicted ineffective instructional leadership.

However, as the United States has become increasingly politically polarized, teachers have become more hesitant to engage students in discussions of controversial political issues. Two decades worth of literature on teaching controversial issues has shown that a primary factor in determining whether teachers will engage students in controversial issue discussions is whether they feel supported by their school administrators. Yet, school leaders have rarely been the focus of civic education efforts. This article seeks to bridge that divide by first providing a review of the research showing the importance of engaging with controversy in K-12 education and the influence of school leadership on that process and then ending with implications for school administrators who wish to support teachers who broach controversy in their classrooms.","PeriodicalId":39340,"journal":{"name":"NASSP Bulletin","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46523496","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
