Abstract:
The literature has revealed that high-performing districts establish collaborative working relations with school leaders as a part of the strategy to improve student achievement. This study was designed to investigate the relationships and interactions that school owners and principals in municipalities with high-performing school results employ at the district level in a part of rural Norway. The district subjected to the study was characterized by small municipalities with a few school administrative units, which can be a challenging context for school owners’ involvement and interaction with principals. The research design involved a collective case study and draws on data from surveys, interviews and local school policy documents.
