The Paradox of Leadership: Toxic Education Leadership in the Learning Institutions

Leadership practice in learning institutions is a paradox and it is now of interest to scholars, the secular, and religious authorities. Unfortunately, the objectives of leadership, as a system, in the learning institutions, are the least understood by the leaders themselves. In these learning institutions, exemplary leaders are ideal, but with the magnitude of corrupt leaders in society, it is difficult to nurture exemplary leadership. Presently, the conditions that undermine teachers' effectiveness in the learning institutions must be identified and promptly rectified. These conditions include actions and behaviours of toxic education leaders. These leaders discourage teachers from performing their duties. This study aimed to document the actions and behaviours of toxic education leaders in learning institutions. The study was carried out using ethnographic, social constructivism, and pragmatic approaches between 2013 and 2023 in five learning institutions in Western Australia. It is reported that toxic cultures in learning institutions develop because of actions and behaviours of toxic education leaders. These toxic leaders are content with the status quo because their leadership capabilities are stuck in their juvenile growth stage, making them incapable of transcending the leadership scale. The leaders allow the institutions to breed incompetence and incrimination, almost always with contempt, frustrating the efforts of teachers, leading to teacher shortages. These actions and behaviours of toxic leaders lead to mistrust and discontent in learning institutions. It is concluded that by regularly moderating the actions and behaviours of toxic education leaders, there may be a reduction in incidents of out-of-value behaviours and eliminating toxic and poisonous conducts that lead to unethical actions in learning institutions

Defining contemporary roles of the pharmacy educator: The essential first step in developing equitable faculty teaching workload

IntroductionFaculty workload policy has gained increased attention recently given the growing amount of faculty burnout leading to decreased productivity, worsened faculty morale, and impaired retention. Faculty are one of the most valuable resources of an academic institution; thus, it is essential that a clear picture of the “jobs to be done” are defined and valued. PerspectiveThe approach of a task force charged with developing a teaching workload policy is described. Through this work, it was recognized that essential roles of the contemporary pharmacy educator have not been defined, resulting in workload policies that might only value and recognize “traditional” educator roles. This led the task force to evaluate the forces driving change in education and to identify the roles of faculty as educators. The stepwise approach used to define nine essential roles of contemporary pharmacy educators is described. ImplicationsRoles of the educator have become more complex, and traditional definitions of these roles do not recognize and value the multifaceted nature of the job to be done. Consideration of contemporary definitions of educator roles is a critical first step for developing workload policies. The new definition of educator roles will allow the academic institution to have more clarity around total teaching effort and recognize the value faculty provide the institution. We believe this is the essential first step for the Academy when developing teaching workload policies that are fair and equitable, while also understanding the overall faculty needs for executing their educational enterprise.

The motivation from teachers makes dyslexic students more enthusiastic in following guidance and instructions from teachers.

Role of Teachers and Higher Education in Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals

Teachers and Higher Education play vital roles in working towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), a set of 17 global objectives established by the United Nations to address challenges like poverty, hunger, climate change, and inequality. Educators hold a significant responsibility in educating students about the SDGs and their significance. This entails integrating SDG-related concepts into lessons, employing SDG-themed activities and projects, and encouraging students to critically consider sustainable challenges and solutions. Concurrently, educational establishments contribute by supporting teacher development on the SDGs, aiding teachers' comprehensive understanding and effective integration. Additionally, institutions offer resources promoting sustainability awareness to students, such as educational materials and online sources. They also endorse student-driven sustainability projects by providing financial backing, space, and resources. Moreover, institutions set an example by adopting eco-conscious practices such as reducing energy consumption and waste generation. Through collaborative efforts, teachers and institutions shape a generation capable of addressing global issues and creating a sustainable future. For instance, teachers inform students about the SDGs, emphasizing their importance, discussing specific goals, challenges, and solutions, and prompting analytical thinking to brainstorm ideas. Institutions assist educators through specialized professional development focused on the SDGs, aiding educators' understanding and integration of these goals. They also make resources available, including books, articles, websites, and educational visits to sustainable initiatives. Additionally, institutions support student-led sustainability endeavours through financial assistance, space, and resources. By demonstrating sustainable practices like energy conservation and supporting local businesses, institutions lead by example. Together, the combined efforts of teachers and institutions drive tangible global transformations, fostering an informed and motivated generation equipped to tackle pressing issues and forge a more sustainable future.

Teacher's Efforts in Overcoming Student’s Difficulty Post Distance Learning at Elementary School

Critical Literature Review of Contemporary Research on Attitudes Towards World Englishes

Locally and globally, the position of English is uncontested, making it the most sought-after languages to be learnt today. While there is little disagreement about the need to learn English, language teaching and learning efforts are often beset by questions of which variety of English is most suitable for the classroom. This is complicated by attitudes towards varieties of English. This paper is a literature review to inform a study of attitudes towards World Englishes among Sri Lankan English teachers. It presents a critical review of existing literature that combines elements of a systematic review. Based on 50 recent studies, the paper first presents key findings in an overview of the main trends in contemporary research on attitudes towards World Englishes (AWE). It next presents a selection of findings based on a critical analysis of these studies. These findings include the proliferation of AWE studies in countries that formerly considered English a foreign language, a preference for survey methods and AWE studies in pedagogical contexts, recurring findings across studies from different parts of the world, and the researchers' engagement with the concept of attitudes. The critical analysis of the studies uncovered conceptual and methodological shortcomings that also reflect the limitations previously identified in WEs research and language attitudes research. This paper concludes with the recommendation to consider moving beyond positivist, quantitative approaches such as surveys in the study of AWEs that consider language attitudes to be fixed and measurable in order to produce generalisations. Instead, this paper advocates more inductive, qualitative approaches that focus on the individual and the subjective and consider language attitudes as unfixed, volatile, and evolving in context, which might provide new insights into the field.
