| Resource Title | Leadership succession experiences of School Principals: Thematic solutions to new organization challenges |
| Date Issued | January 2025 |
| Abstract | Leadership succession in the public schools has been quick due to the retirement of Baby Boomers and the addition of senior high schools through Republic Act 10533. Leadership succession in schools, even if it creates a great impact on the school, has not been studied, especially on the school principal's own perception of this phenomenon and how they face the various challenges of the new school. This study described the lived experiences of school principals using a transcendental phenomenological approach during leadership succession. Face-to-face and online interviews were conducted with 12 public secondary principals in Luzon, the Visayas, and Mindanao, with criterion sampling as a guide. Most of the participants faced many challenges with the school principalship in the new organization. Variables related to leadership succession - student achievement, school culture, mentoring programs, District Office and their hiring procedures, etc., were included in the study. Using the Simplified Data Analysis by Creswell, a conceptual framework emerged describing the overall essence - EMBRACE of leadership succession. Each letter of EMBRACE represents a theme of the phenomenon - Empowering the Teachers and Staff, Modelling as a Good Leader, Brainstorming with the Stakeholders, Reflecting on Various Issues, Adapting to the New School, Challenging the Many Problems, and Evolving for Better Leadership Skills. Another layer of analysis was made, and 11 challenges emerged. The principals used the 7 themes in EMBRACE as thematic solutions to face these 11 challenges in the new organization. These 7 themes and 11 challenges were also incorporated with the DepEd's latest framework - the Philippine Professional Standards for School Heads (PPSSH) 5 main domains to check on its validity. EMBRACE and the 11 challenges may be used by the public school principals to tighten the contextual problems of leadership succession. |
