|a The purpose of this study was to explore the perceived impact of the continual change in leadership at a technical school in South Florida on the school’s ability to achieve its mission and on the level of teacher satisfaction, motivation, and retention. The researcher selected a qualitative research methodology, a bounded case study in which to learn what happened in a single case. The case study was bounded in nature by the researcher’s interest and selection of the case itself, by the time utilized for data collection, and by the sample size. This qualitative case study explored the perceptions of nine purposefully selected teachers at Elizabeth Lloyd High School (a pseudonym used to protect the identity of the school and school district) who have experienced the phenomenon under study. The research instrument was a Web-based questionnaire. Participants were provided with Informed Consent forms assuring confidentiality. Participants’ responses were coded and categorized in order to analyze findings. The final analysis was reported in narrative form using rich descriptions and low inference descriptors in order to provide a detailed account of participants’ experiences. Methods of quality of verification included data triangulation, extended feedback, low inference descriptors, and reflexivity. The researcher’s final analysis produced a narrative of lessons learned from the phenomenon of what happened at Elizabeth Lloyd High School, including recommendations for future reform as well as further study. This case study sought to give food for thought. The researcher’s goal was to provide some insight for school administrators in charge of leadership placement on the impact of excessive leadership turnover on schools involved in educational reform, and the impact of these leadership turnovers on sustaining reform efforts and level of teacher motivation, satisfaction, and retention. Implications may be drawn that may lead to further investigations. |
