Abstract
(type = abstract)
This study looks at partnership in four K-12 public school districts in New Jersey, specifically addressing the role of the principal—the middle manager of education (Martin & Willower, 1981; Cascadden, 1998; Flessa, 2012). This is a qualitative study that takes an inductive and iterative approach to advance theories of middle management and partnership. It uses interviews conducted over the course of two years with principals, teachers, union leaders, and other educators (N=51, including teachers in focus groups) to examine the obstacles and constraints to the role of principals across schools implementing partnership in the 4 NJ districts. Additionally, as I was granted in depth access to educators, meetings, and numerous district events, this study will also utilize Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) (Ragin, 1987; Rihoux & Ragin, 2008), which is a set-theoretic approach that uses deep case knowledge as well as cross case patterns in order to appropriately address the causal complexity of outcomes—in this case, the effective implementation of partnership at the school level. This approach offers a way to measure an outcome that is directly related to the role of the principal and his/her involvement in partnership.
