A great deal has been researched and written about what effective leadership looks like, but this book advocates for a new approach. For years, school and system leaders have pursued improved outcomes for students and invested significant amounts of money and effort in trying to achieve their goals. The results have often fallen a long way short of desired outcomes.
This book outlines the essential foundations that must be firmly in place across a whole school for students to achieve highly, because educational leadership is about so much more than just a focus on student achievement. The main focus must be on developing a shared vision for a positive learning culture. A whole school culture based on trust, excellence and innovation must be created and maintained in order for all students to reach their potential and be equipped with life skills for the 21st century.
