• Teacher Leadership, Wellbeing, and Intent to Leave in US Rural Schools: Evidence from the 2020–21 National Teacher and Principal Survey (2024) · Education Sciences · cited 3× · doi

  Teacher leadership in this study was split into two distinct categories: instructional teacher leadership and non-instructional teacher leadership. In the current literature, there is ample evidence to support the practice of instructional teacher leadership, but the litera- ture pertaining to the effectiveness and implementation of distributing non-instructional leadership duties to teachers is limited. Similarly, it is understood that TJS and TB are two distinct constructs, and recent research has treated them as such [17]. The large effect sizes of NITL merit further investigation into the overall effects of involving teachers in non-instructional leadership responsibilities. Future studies would examine the effect of Educ. Sci. 2024, 14, 758 13 of 16 implementing specific non-instructional leadership duties, such as setting discipline policy or overseeing the hiring of new teachers, on TJS and burnout. Future research into teacher leadership could also benefit from a multilevel approach. This study used a single-level SEM approach observing data gathered from teachers at an individual level. Research indicates that principals benefit from delegating, but research into the specifics of principal job satisfaction and intent to leave as it relates to teacher leadership duties is needed. Future studies might consider a multilevel approach where teacher and principal data are considered simultaneously for analysis. This, in turn, might help us to understand the perceptions of principals in schools utilizing a distributed leadership framework.
