Case Studies from the Edge: Leadership in Ethnoculturally Diverse Northern Canadian Schools.
Foster, Rosemary; Goddard, J. Tim
Alberta Journal of Educational Research, v48 n4 p368-70 Win 2002
A study investigated Indigenous community perceptions of White school administrators in northern Canada via 44 individual and focus group interviews with local stakeholders at four schools. Community perceptions of effective school leadership were inconsistent, and communities and administrators were often at odds with regard to the role and purpose of the school and the extent to which the school should adapt to local culture.
