Each year Journal of Educational Administration's Editorial Advisory Board has the pleasure of awarding the A. Ross Thomas Outstanding Paper Award to the author or authors of the paper selected as the most outstanding of the respective volume. The award honours both excellence in scholarship and the decades of service provided by JEA's former editor. Two highly commended papers are also acknowledged.
The three recognised papers were selected from among all papers published in Volume 50 of the journal. The selection process was conducted in two stages with the editorial team nominating a short list of six papers for consideration by our Editorial Advisory Board. Board members then offered a ranking of the set of papers with additional comments. The editors then identified the papers that were mostly highly ranked by the board.
All three papers selected for this honour were published in a Special Issue edited by Karen Seashore Louis entitled Accountability and School Leadership (Vol. 50 No. 5).
A. Ross Thomas Outstanding Paper:
“Managing the intersection of internal and external accountability: Challenge for urban school leadership in the United States”
Michael S. Knapp, Susan B. Feldman
Highly Commended Papers:
“At-risk student averse: risk management and accountability”
Julian Vasquez Heilig, Michelle Young, Amy Williams
“Bridging accountability obligations, professional values and (perceived) student needs with integrity”
Heinrich Mintrop
We are pleased to offer our congratulations to the authors for their outstanding contributions. Moreover, we believe that the range of approaches and methods employed in these studies provides a useful indicator of the quality and diversity of scholarship published in JEA.
Allan Walker and Philip Hallinger
