It does so in a novel way by working to bridge work on leadership in the schoolhouse with work that calls attention to how dynamics beyond the schoolhouse matter for educational leadership.  \nTo bridge these two lines of work on educational leadership, the authors focus on the educational ecosystems in which schools around the world operate and depend on for essential resources in delivering education. Using a multi-level distributed leadership framework, they explore the educational ecosystem as a potential source of resources for educational leadership in schools. More specifically, observing the growing importance of intermediary organizations, especially nonsystem or non-governmental intermediary organizations in educational ecosystems globally, the authors zoom in on how these organizations build relationships and access resources. By straddling the local school and the broader education ecosystem, non-system intermediary organizations enable resources beyond the schoolhouse in the broader ecosystem to flow into schools--resources that are critical for educational leadership. The focus is especially timely, as schools around the world continue to grapple with the challenges of a global pandemic and the glaring educational inequities exposed in ways that are difficult to ignore.  \nThe authors generate useful and usable knowledge for educational policymakers and practitioners about the important role that non-system intermediary organizations play for local schools and the relationships and resources that are central in this work. To generate insights about how these non-system intermediary organizations build relationships within vast and diverse ecosystems, the authors shrewdly focus on five, mature non-system intermediary organizations (think NGOs)  \nin the United States that work directly with schools. Viewing the education ecosystem from the perspective of non-system intermediary organizations, the report captures the ecosystem from their vantage point by focusing on three core issues all having to do with relationships and resources:  \nFirst, the brief examines how non-system intermediary organizations initiate and maintain interactions with other actors  \nin the educational ecosystem and what purposes motivate initiating and maintaining relationships. Non-system intermediary organizations interacted frequently with diverse ecosystem actors, government, and nongovernment organizations, to procure an array of resources, from funding to expertise, using a combination of outreach and in-reach strategies as well as introductions brokered by a third party.  \nSecond, the report identifies and describes the various types of relationships that non-system intermediary organizations have with other ecosystem actors, identifying the factors that shape the formation of these relationships. Non-system intermediary organizations’relationships with other ecosystem actors involved four types –contractual, brokering, collaborative, and consultative– that depended on a combination of ecosystem factors and factors internal to the intermediary organizations.  \nThird, the authors identify the key resources that ","cbCaicCn4bQTjJdR","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicCn4bQTjJdR","pdf",3606677,91,"English","# FOREWORD\n## Relationships and Resources for Leadership in Schools\n## The Role of Non-System Intermediary Organizations\n# GLOSSARY OF TERMS\n# ADDITIONAL ABBREVIATIONS\n# CHAPTER ONE: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY\n# CHAPTER TWO: INTRODUCTION\n# CHAPTER THREE: INTERMEDIARY ORGANIZATIONS AND THEIR ECOSYSTEM ENGAGEMENTS\n# CHAPTER FOUR: RESEARCH METHODS\n# CHAPTER FIVE: FINDINGS\n# CHAPTER SIX: CONCLUSIONS AND DISCUSSION\n# ABOUT THE AUTHORS\n# ABOUT THE CENTER FOR URBAN EDUCATION LEADERSHIP\n# ABOUT WISE\n# ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS\n# DISCLAIMER\n# REFERENCES","[{\"question\":\"What is the core focus of the brief on educational leadership in schools?\",\"answer\":\"It focuses on how educational ecosystems and non-system intermediary organizations provide relationships and resources that support educational leadership in schools.\"},{\"question\":\"How do non-system intermediary organizations build relationships in the education ecosystem?\",\"answer\":\"The brief describes how they initiate and maintain interactions using outreach and in-reach strategies, including introductions brokered by a third party.\"},{\"question\":\"What types of resources do intermediary organizations access for schools?\",\"answer\":\"They access material, human, and social resources, shaped by factors such as participation in collaborative networks and the type of donor organization.\"}]","Relationships and Resources for Leadership in Schools - The Role of Non-System Intermediary Organizations - Executive Summary | PDF",1792044520,229]
