    Leadership Scholarship and Certification through Cognitive Apprenticeship
    (2020-11-15) Mosher, Ronna; Pamplin, Lori; Brown, Barbara; Delanoy, Nadia
    CHALLENGE: MEd graduate leadership programs must negotiate scholarly expectations with student eligibility requirements for provincial leadership certification. METHODOLOGY: The signature pedagogy of cognitive apprenticeship provided a lens for the analysis of course design artefacts and instructor interview data in a Werklund School of Education graduate leadership program. FINDINGS: Findings portray practices of recursion and reflection, reciprocal apprenticeship, and an intentional situating of self amidst collective (institutional, cohort, and public) capacities. Layers of scaffolding and modelling support students toward identified ends and positions of potentiality.

    Understanding the Lived Experience of the School Principal: A Hermeneutic Study
    (2015-01-08) Pamplin, Lori; Friesen, Sharon; Jardine, David
    In this inquiry the phenomenon of the principalship is opened up to create new understandings of what it means to be a principal. Educational literature hints at the complex and contingent nature of principal leadership, but does not address it sufficiently. This hermeneutic inquiry seeks to understand the always emergent, ambiguous, and contingent nature of being a school principal within a large urban school district. Understanding differently illuminates ways to support the development of principals through professional learning.
