Abstract
By following the evolution of situated practices and concepts of educational leadership, the transformation of the Regional Centers for the Professions of Education and Training in Morocco, from a local management mode to a regional management mode, has inspired us to characterize the new style of leadership practiced within these centers. For this, we took a sample of the Center of the Casablanca-Settat Region as a megalopolis. The eleven other centers in Morocco have the same institutional framework and the same regional operating logic. To collect data characterizing the leadership practiced in terms of building the center’s commitments on a vision and values, we targeted the management and teachers, as the main actors of this leadership, through an online questionnaire. To validate certain information, we used the center’s database. In terms of our work, we ended up with a form of leadership, which we called “satellite leadership”, allowing each annex or provincial branch—of a Regional Centers for the Professions of Education and Training—to develop its local leadership while evolving with the changing orbit of regional leadership. This new configuration allows us to conclude on the possibility of carrying this style of educational leadership, at the national or international level, on any educational structure bringing together sub-structures grouped.
Highlights
With the extended regionalization in 2015, several Centers were grouped, following the new policy of regionalization of all sectors, in a single regional center, grouping several geographically distant centers, with a single Board of the establishment guarantor of the supervision of the good functioning of the center at the regional level. Faced with this new situation, we have set an objective proposing a prototype of educational leadership that takes into consideration local leaderships to develop a regional one that we have qualified as satellite leadership
Since the extended regionalization in 2015, the Regional Center has been directed by a single Regional Director, assisted by Deputy Directors of the annexes and provincial branches of the same CRMEF, and has a single Board of the establishment, which guarantees the proper functioning of the Center
We believe that our research is unique in that we propose a satellite model of educational leadership based on local leaderships framed by regional leadership
Summary
Depending on the new managerial architecture of these centers, based on extended regionalization, it was necessary to compose their old modes of practiced leadership, with their expectations and challenges (Dutercq, Gather Thurler, & Pelletier, 2015) These centers have undergone significant changes since their creation in 2011 until today. Faced with this new situation, we have set an objective proposing a prototype of educational leadership that takes into consideration local leaderships to develop a regional one that we have qualified as satellite leadership
