Thesis (Ed.D.)

Includes bibliographical references

Readers of professional journals aimed at school librarians are led to believe that the role of a school librarian is that of a leader. Articles focus on change, innovation, collaboration, and empowerment of others while terms such as "instructional leader" and "technology leader" are scattered throughout. The literature emphasizes the role of school librarians as teacher leaders through their unique position within schools (Dotson & Jones, 2011; Johnston, 2013; Weisburg, 2016).

520 $a Readers of professional journals aimed at school librarians are led to believe that the role of a school librarian is that of a leader. Articles focus on change, innovation, collaboration, and empowerment of others while terms such as "instructional leader" and "technology leader" are scattered throughout. The literature emphasizes the role of school librarians as teacher leaders through their unique position within schools (Dotson & Jones, 2011; Johnston, 2013; Weisburg, 2016).
520 $a Leadership, with its multiple meanings, is somewhat ambiguous (Cosenza, 2015; Phillips, 2014). This study examined the leadership role of school librarians as well as the ways in which school librarians develop leadership capacity. Qualitative research methods were utilized and data was collected through interviews with 9 directors of school library systems and 9 school librarians from across New York State.
520 $a The findings from this study indicate that directors and librarians believe that school librarians are teacher leaders. Leadership capacity can be developed through a variety of opportunities, including professional development. This development is dependent on both internal and external factors that influence individuals. The beliefs and dispositions of school librarians impacts leadership growth. External conditions, such as support from administrators, also have a correlation in developing capacity. Directors of school library systems are actively working to create the opportunities for librarians to become teacher leaders through professional development, information sharing, and advocacy.
520 $a Several recommendations are offered from this study. The most substantial recommendation is creating a systematic, statewide approach to ensuring that all school librarians have multiple opportunities to grow as teacher leaders. In addition, directors of school library systems are encouraged to begin recognizing librarians as teacher leaders so that librarians have the provocation needed to begin seeing themselves as leaders. Participants of this study made it clear that outside recognition had much to do with the way individuals saw themselves.
