Introduction 21 1 In our fourth paper (sub-question 4; see Chapter 5), we continue by studying the sociocultural contexts of teacher teams and how these relate to degrees of distributed leadership.We answer the following research question: How can differences in distributed leadership between collaborative innovation-oriented teacher teams be understood from multiple sociocultural context levels? This study has a mixed-methods design, including the social network questionnaire (Chapter 4), the questionnaire on horizontal and vertical relations (Chapter 2), interviews with school principals (from Chapter 3), a questionnaire for the external advisors, and cognitive student outcomes on the school level. Within this study, 130 teachers and 12 school principals are included. In Figure 1.3, we illustrate how the four studies help us to understand how teachers and school principals lead collaborative innovation practices in schools. The numbers of the chapters are mentioned in the figure. Figure 1.3 Overview of the Set-Up of the Studies of This Dissertation Note. Blue person is a school principal, green is a coach-teacher.
