Course Summary
Good leadership in schools is vital for improving students’ learning outcomes.
School leaders should work with staff to understand their personal development needs and skills, as well as their knowledge gaps.
This can help to create a culture of empowerment, self-directed learning and responsibility. Furthermore, leading by example can demonstrate how schooling staff can improve their teaching capacity.
Good leadership in schools is the practice of encouraging and enabling school-wide teaching expertise to achieve a strong progress rate for all learners. This leadership can be driven by principals and executive staff in traditional leadership roles, as well as by school leaders and teachers without defined leadership roles.
For teaching staff and future leaders in the education sector, it’s important to understand what the benchmark is for good leadership in schools, and how it can be used to drive lasting and sustainable change.
