The lesson has two parts. In the first part, "Formation of a Nation," students evaluate the factors that led to Australian federation and compare the process and relationship Australia had to Great Britain with the experience of other British colonies such as Canada, India, and Ireland. In the second part, "Republic-Yes or No?" the students trace Australia's historic relationship with Great Britain and the United States. The lesson contains a teacher introduction, four handouts, suggested activities for each part, and follow-up activities. Contains 16 sources.

Moreover, strong principals provide a multiplier effect that enables improvement initiatives to succeed (Manna, 2015). Yet each year, as many as 22% of current principals retire or leave their schools or the profession (U.S. Department of Education, 2014) requiring districts to either promote or hire new principals to fill vacancies (School Leaders Network, 2014). One in five principals working in schools in the 2011-12 school year left their school by the 2012-13 school year (Goldring and Taie 2014). Additional research shows that one out of every two principals is not retained beyond their third year of leading a school. School leaders who are retiring, transferring schools, or pursuing new opportunities within the education sector are not being replaced by enough qualified candidates (Policy & Advocacy Center-NASSP, 2017, p. 1). As a result, many school districts across the country report principal vacancies and a serious lack of qualified applicants to replace them. In addition, the demand for employment of principals is estimated to will grow 6 percent nationwide by the year 2022 due to population increases (Policy & Advocacy Center-NASSP, 2017, p.2).

Students are asked, as mock members of an Australian delegation to an international conference to be held in 2015 in Canberra (Australia), to design a plan that addresses global warming. As a closing activity, students compare their plan with the one Australia submitted at the Kyoto Summit in 1997. Contains 14 sources and 10 supplemental readings.

The purpose of this research is to examine critically the literature on issues facing leaders in rural and urban settings and present a synthesis of cross-cutting themes. The authors reviewed the theoretical and empirical literature on K-12 leadership issues in rural settings and in urban settings published between 2013-2018 in ten journals. An examination of the similarities and differences facing leaders in these settings in the United States and a discussion of the implications for leadership preparation programs is provided. Future research directions to guide the study of K-12 leadership are also discussed.
