Abstract Details

2012, Doctor of Education (Educational Leadership), Youngstown State University, Department of Teacher Education and Leadership Studies.
Alternative Education for Disruptive Youth (AEDY) refers to programs in the state of Pennsylvania that serve students who are seriously and persistently disruptive. In many cases, the individuals who oversee AEDY programs are certified school principals. While there has been an emergence of research devoted to alternative education in general, there is an absence of research that examines the leadership of these programs. The purpose of this research was to examine the beliefs and practices of principals of AEDY programs. Employing a qualitative-based design, structured interviews were used to examine AEDY principals' beliefs and practices compared to those of traditional school principals in five leadership domains: special education, servant leadership, instructional leadership, social justice leadership, and mental health knowledge and delivery of service. The results found more similarities in the leadership beliefs among the two groups than in the leadership practices of the two groups.
