Teacher unionism and empowerment in rural Illinois school districts

Abstract

dc:description

This study investigates the problem of how teacher unionism in rural school districts relates to teacher empowerment within those districts. Specifically, the study attempts to examine which variables describing teacher unions in rural unit school districts in Illinois influence union presidents', superintendents', and rank-and-file teachers' observed perceptions about teacher empowerment, as well as empowered-teaching-conditions contractual outcomes.
