“…Much of what little research exists, specific to rural, non-rural, or urban TL has focused on the second wave of TL research, instructional leadership, both in the United States (Lotter et al, 2019;Beachum et al, 2010) and internationally (Wang et al, 2022;Liu, 2021). Researchers often reveal an urban-centric view, that urban life is the norm with rural communities representing isolation and remoteness (Kramer & Jahnke, 2019) which may contribute to the lack of leadership and burnout research on rural schools themselves and on their comparison to non-rural schools.…”

Exploring Teacher Leadership’s Effect on Teacher Burnout: Does School Rurality Make a Difference?

In literature, both teacher leadership and teacher burnout have been heavily studied. However, it is unknown to what extent teacher leadership makes a difference in teacher burnout, and whether school rurality makes a difference in between. This study fills the research gaps by conceptualising teacher leadership from both instructional and non-instructional dimensions and applying a quantitative method to large-scale national data. Findings revealed that (a) rural teachers presented higher levels of teacher leadership practices; (b) rural and non-rural teachers presented the same levels of burnout; and (c) both instructional and non-instructional dimensions of teacher leadership practices helped reduce teacher burnout in general, but rurality moderated the two effects differently, where instructional teacher leadership had a larger effect in non-rural schools while non-instructional teacher leadership presented a larger effect in rural schools. Discussion and recommendations for further research of teacher leadership and teacher burnout in rural schools are presented.

“…Studies that address the spatial dimension of knowledge, education, and science (cf. [12]) have shown that spatial disparities in knowledge and creativity are not short-term transitional events, but rather, a fundamental structural element of society and the economy. Educational institutions (such as schools and universities) have been historically designed to fulfil the needs of a small elite (e.g., male, white, and people of economic means), with structures, values, and practices set up to support some students, while excluding and marginalizing others.…”

Kitambaa: A Convivial Future-Oriented Framework for Kinangop’s Learning Hub

The aim of this paper, and more generally, our project “Impact from the ground” (a multi-stage ongoing project), is to reimagine education so that it transcends the walls and harsh constraints of a “universal one size fits all” education. To achieve this, we propose a framework that will inform the design of a participatory approach to co-create a learning hub (an informal lifelong learning opportunity) with and within the community. To weave this framework, we explore the current landscape of education, looking at the challenges that youth from rural settings face to complete their studies in urban universities, and the difficulties they experience when looking for jobs after having done so. We briefly explain our research project and contextualize it in Kinangop, a small region in the Nyandarua County in Kenya, where we explored the enablers and constraints people face to engage in social innovation. We proceed to imagine an alternative education that is local and organic, with different principles and theories weaved into a fabric kitambaa (in Swahili) that serves as the ground for an education intervention that is meaningful, binding, and bonding for the community members. In so doing, we aim to center matters of knowledge production as multi-epistemic conversations, situating those at the margins of epistemic divisions at the center of productive and creative debates.
