“…This also echoes Hu and Gu's (2012) statement that there is a compliance with the national curriculum standards in the Chinese basic education context. By contrast, western studies mention compliance with curriculum standards (e.g., Macpherson & Brooker, 2000), they do not specifically state whether they are referring to the national curriculum. Thus, different educational contexts and different educational systems have a clear impact on teachers' perceptions and the implementation of school policies and teaching initiatives (Cummings, 2011).…”

“…Specifically, teachers are empowered with the authority to make both administrative and instructional decisions at the school level, such as planning goals (DeMatthews, 2014), creating a shared vision (Nashashibi & Watters, 2003), building the school climate (Ylimaki & Brunner, 2011), and allocating resources (Lin & Lee, 2013). At the classroom level, teachers are responsible for taking instructional initiatives that involve setting goals for curriculum development (Handler, 2010), tailoring teaching resources (Wiles, 2009), organising instructional activities and maintaining management in the classroom (Macpherson & Brooker, 2000), and conducting assessments of teaching quality and academic outcomes (Wiles, 2009). At the social relationship level, teachers take responsibilities of maintaining relations with stakeholders (e.g., superiors, subordinates, parents, students, other schools, or the local community) inside and outside schools (Cummings, 2011).…”

“…It is possible that the research contexts in these studies differed from the present research context, which leads to dissimilarities. As Macpherson and Brooker (2000) stated, contextual factors have an influence on enacting CL. On the other hand, concerning personal situations, this study raises the problem of unmotivated and inactive attitudes held by TRG leaders toward taking on the CL role.…”

“…However, teachers are not fully involved in taking on the CL role in the authentic context because of the rigid organizational structure and undemocratic schooling (Wang and Zheng, 2013;Moreeng and Tshelane, 2014). At the classroom level, teachers who assume CL are responsible for setting curriculum goals and spearheading teaching resources for ensuring compliance with curriculum standards (Cummings, 2011;Fu and Yu, 2014), and also devoting to classroom initiatives such as solving teaching and learning problems as well as organizing classroom activities for effective teaching and learning (Macpherson and Brooker, 2000;Law et al, 2007). Furthermore, these teacher leaders are in charge of making assessments of teaching and evaluating learning, and also monitoring the curriculum implementation (Huang and Zhu, 2015;Xiong and Lim, 2015).…”

“…However, it should not be overlooked that many PSMCDs also indicated that they have gained expertise by specializing in the role, studying the reform documents, attending seminars and collaborating with academics from the tertiary sector. The importance of tertiary institutes as support to curriculum leaders in schools in fact was emphasized by Macpherson and Brooker (2000).…”
