In this research study I examined how four principals of secondary schools interpreted authority and how these interpretations affected their practice. This study involved a presentation of the literature where the concept of qualitative methodology as well as general concepts of authority were reviewed. Four principals were interviewed and asked to reflect on their feelings and experiences as they related to the practice of authority. Five major themes emerged from their reflections and stories which were: Understandings of the Concept of Authority, Principals' Enactment of Authority, Thoughts and Experiences related to Challenges to Their Authority, A View of Principals' Challenge of Authority, and Changing Views on the Authority of Principals in Ontario. The stories of these four principals demonstrated that the practice of authority is complex, dynamic, and contains personal and social tensions. The sharing of these ideas and stories provided a window into the world of these secondary school educational leaders and their experiences with, and enactment of, authority. From this research four recommendations were made to improve educators' practice related to the issue of authority. The importance of this study is that it presents an understanding of the dynamic nature of the process and enactment of authority by these secondary school principals at a unique time in the history of education in Ontario.This qualitative research provides a snapshot of a particular group of educators at a particular time and place. Others need to add to these understandings and modify these ideas through further research. Understanding the experiences of educational leaders as they negotiate concepts of authority gives a window on this very complex, yet vital, component of education.

The St. Lawrence Seaway is a system of locks, canals and channels. Construction of the seaway began in 1954 and it opened on April 25th, 1959. It consists of a 189 mile (306 kilometer) stretch of the seaway between Montreal and Lake Ontario. The Seaway is considered to be an engineering feat with 7 locks in the Montreal – Lake Ontario section which lift vessels to 246 feet (75 meters) above sea level. The 28 mile (44 kilometer) Welland Canal is the fourth version of a link between Lake Ontario and Lake Erie. Today there are 8 Canadian locks which lift ships 326 feet (100 meters) over the Niagara Escarpment. The St. Lawrence Seaway Authority is a Canadian Government Crown Corporation which is financially self-sufficient. It depends on the tolls charged to the users of the Seaway for its revenue and operating expenses.

The Welland Canal Company was formed in 1824 by William Hamilton Merritt. Construction of the first Welland Canal began in 1829 and was completed in 1834. The canal ran south from Port Dalhousie along Twelve Mile Creek to St. Catharines. An extension was built in 1833 to Gravelly Bay, now Port Colborne. As ships became larger and the wooden locks deteriorated, the need for a new canal became apparent. In 1839, the government purchased the Welland Canal Company’s assets and began making plans for the construction of a second canal. Construction began in 1841 and was completed by 1845. In 1887, a third Welland Canal was completed, which operated until 1932, when a fourth canal was completed. This canal remains in operation today.

Cette recherche évalue si l’intégration du programme d’agrément MIRE (Mesures implantées pour le renouveau de l’évaluation) d’Agrément Canada, anciennement Conseil canadien d’agrément des services de santé, engendre du changement et de l’apprentissage organisationnel. Elle étudie le cas de deux organismes de santé, la Health Authority of Anguilla (HAA) et la Ca’ Foncella Opetale de Treviso (CFOT). La recherche comporte trois niveaux d’analyse pour lesquels des données qualitatives et quantitatives ont été recueillies : 1) les membres des équipes d’agrément; 2) les équipes d’agrément; 3) l’organisme dans son ensemble. Des questionnaires individuels administrés aux membres des équipes, des entretiens semi-structurés avec les chefs des équipes et les coordonnateurs de la qualité, une revue de documentation et plusieurs mesures périodiques du niveau de compliance aux normes MIRE ont été les techniques de collecte de données utilisées. Les résultats indiquent que les organismes ont opéré des transformations : 1) stratégiques; 2) de l’organisation; 3) des relations avec son environnement. Ils ont amélioré leurs systèmes et leurs pratiques de gestion de même que leurs communications internes et externes. Il y a eu aussi des apprentissages utiles par les individus, les équipes et les organismes. Les apprentissages individuels concernaient les programmes qualité, l’approche centrée sur la clientèle, la gestion des risques, l’éthique professionnelle, la gestion participative et l’évaluation des services. Les étapes « autoévaluation » et « apporter des améliorations et donner suite aux recommandations » du cycle d’agrément ont contribué le plus au changement et à l’apprentissage organisationnel. Les équipes interdisciplinaires d’agrément ont été le véhicule privilégié pour réaliser ces changements et ces apprentissages. La HAA et la CFOT ont amélioré progressivement leur niveau de compliance aux normes dans toutes les dimensions de la qualité, au niveau des équipes d’agrément et pour l’ensemble de l’organisation. Néanmoins, l’amélioration du niveau global de compliance était en deçà de la limite minimum des exigences du programme pour l’obtention d’un statut d’agrément sans restrictions importantes. L’envergure des changements et des apprentissages réalisés soulève la question de la capacité des organismes d’institutionnaliser ces nouvelles connaissances. La CFOT pourrait y arriver étant donné les ressources et les compétences à sa disposition.
