EFFECTIVE SCHOOL LEADERS CREATE SUCCESSFUL SCHOOLS

Effective school leadership results in good student outcomes by creating a dynamic system where teachers, school staff, students and parents contribute towards a positive learning environment. Research shows that while teacher engagement and parent involvement strongly support school achievement, the most vital aspect is school leadership. Poor leadership results in low staff morale, high teacher turnover and lower student achievement. School leaders have great power to create a positive school culture by implementing powerful leadership and management strategies.
