Dr. Corrie Stone-Johnson is an Associate Professor in Educational Leadership and Policy at the University at Buffalo, State University of New York. Her research explores the current accountability context, where pressure to raise student achievement oftentimes encourages teachers to focus on their individual classrooms rather than act collectively, to understand how strong teacher cultures are supported and sustained, and the role school leaders play in building the relationships that such cultures require is critical. Her work interrogates both the types of leadership that foster strong relationships and the factors that impinge on the way relationships and shared cultures develop. Dr. Stone-Johnson's research has been published in scholarly journals such as Educational Administration Quarterly, Journal of Educational Change, and Teachers and Teaching: Theory and Practice; multiple book chapters; and a full-length book, Generational Identity, Educational Change, and School Leadership, published by Routledge. Her current research projects include a comparative case study of professionalism in school leadership and a study of recruiting diverse students for urban school leadership preparation programs. Dr. Stone-Johnson serves as the Associate Editor of Leadership and Policy in Schools and as an editorial board member of the Journal of Educational Change.
