“…Certainly, educational organizations have long been networked, locally and transnationally. Teachers and academics have developed organic networks for collaborative research, professional learning, and in opposition to imposed reform (Lieberman and Grolnick, 1998;Jervis-Tracey, 2005) and in partnerships with industry, communities, government and NGOs (Blackmore et al, 2010 in press). What is different now is that networks are being imposed as a policy fix and a mode of governance in a project of reorganization of educational provision (Power, 2001).…”

Education as a field of policy, research and practice has been reconfigured over four decades by economic, social and cultural globalization in conjuncture with neoliberal policies premised upon markets and new managerialism. One effect has been shifting boundaries between, and understandings of what constitutes the public and the private with regard to the role of the state vis-á-vis the formation of gendered subjectivities and civil society and the gendering of public-private relations in and between family and work. Drawing on feminist readings of Bourdieu and critical policy sociology, I consider the implications of a move from bureaucratic educational governance framed by state welfarism to corporate or market governance framed by the post-welfare state, and consider whether particular constructions of globalization and corporate/market governance lead to network governance. Network governance, it is argued, is premised on new forms of sociality and institutional reconfigurations of knowledge-based economies and a spatialized state that coordinates rather than regulates multiple public-private providers. The question is how each mode of governance frames various possibilities and problems for gender equity in education.A rguably, there has been a radical restructuring of relations between education, the state and the individual in many nation states during the late 20 th century (Blackmore and Sachs, 2007). These changing relations have multiple derivations and legacies, arising in part from the intensification of uneven flows of people, goods, services, ideas and money that characterizes

“…External factors will continue to create new and competing discourses surrounding SBM (Jervis‐Tracey, 2005). As researchers, we conclude that the logic of SBM, whether inside of comprehensive school reform models or distributed leadership efforts, is persuasive.…”

AbstractPurpose -The primary purpose is to present empirical measures of variables relating to practices engaged in by site-based teams, and then to use these variables to test a model predicting significant outcomes of site-based decision making. The practice variables of site-based management (SBM) teams are essential in promoting research within a distributed leadership framework. Design/methodology/approach -A path model is computed to test the relationships between factors relating to the support received by site-based teams; site team communication and decision-making practice, and perceived outcomes of SBM. Measures are based on survey data collected from 367 team members in 50 schools from fifteen school districts in a northeastern state in the US. Findings -Results show that different factors relating to the support provided to site-based teams and practices employed by these teams emerge as statistically significant predictors of various outcomes. Results suggest that the resources provided to support site teams, e.g. the devolution of decision-making power, results in enhanced stakeholder influence, but whether this influence results in better decisions or improvement in teaching and learning depends on the communication and decision-making practices site teams employ within a distributed leadership framework. Originality/value -This study sought to identify site team decision making and communication processes that reflect how site teams conduct their work, defining how members of site teams perceive the "rules of the game." In doing so, it offers a new and different perspective on how such processes impact outcomes associated with shared decision-making processes, and thus a better understanding of the complex dynamics of school-site decision making and the distribution of leadership in schools.
