One component involves designing and validating research or diagnostic instruments such as logs of practice and social network instruments. We use these instruments in schools to gather data, but policy-makers and practitioners may also find them useful for diagnostics purposes... A second component of our work involves describing and analyzing leadership and management arrangements in schools. For example, our research shows that, in addition to the principal, other formally designated leaders and staff members without such designations are involved in leading and managing. The extent to which and how these others are involved in the working of leading and managing, however, differs by school type, school subject, and organizational function.
