Amanda Potterton published two articles during this past year that address school leaders’ experiences with, and decision-making processes in, Arizona’s long-standing market-based school choice system. Findings describe complex relationships with stakeholders, including parents, teachers, and community members, pressures to compete for students, and concerns about finances. In the Journal of Educational Administration, Amanda explains how school leaders at district public schools and charter schools spoke differently about competition and school choice. The article in Research in Educational Administration & Leadership (REAL) is part of a Special Issue about international perspectives on team leadership and shares the ways in which school leaders, parents, and other stakeholders made sense of market pressures and notions of accountability.
