Leadership Framework

International evidence has placed school leadership as the second most important factor for student learning. Educational national policies have given increasing attention to school principals, advancing in the creation of a Leadership Framework called Marco para la Buena Dirección (MDBLE). This frame traces the practices, knowledge and principles and skills that characterize an effective school leader. This article evaluates the degree of preparation to exercise an effective leadership derived from the MDBLE, based on a survey of 575 principals. Results conclude that the framework is well-known and defines clear and valid "standards" in relation of an effective school leadership definition. Nevertheless, the principals perceive moderate and highly heterogeneity in their preparation to exercise the framework, being highly prepared for some components and thematic dimensions, only 8% of principals perceived highly prepared for all components and dimensions of the framework. This evidence points out challenges for the improved school leadership through an improvement of principal competences and better articulation between educational policies and the framework.

Effective school leadership is widely acknowledged as having a positive impact on student achievement. However, there appears to be no deliberate process to sustain New Zealand principals’ effectiveness throughout their careers. This article discusses the views of current and former New Zealand secondary school principals about their complex role and the support they believe would help them make sense of the role and its inherent challenges. The findings suggest that while principals develop tacit knowledge from learning on the job, they have little opportunity to engage in the critical reflection needed for ongoing learning and development. Their suggestions for systematic and mandated support are provided.

Participants depicted an effective school leader to be someone who promoted teamwork. Also, participants indicated that effective school leaders were community and people-focused.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between school principals’ instructional leadership behaviors, teacher self-efficacy, and collective teacher efficacy.Design/methodology/approachThe participants were a total of 427 teachers working in elementary, middle, and high schools located in the Cekmekoy district of Istanbul. The data were gathered through the “Effective School Leadership Scale,” the “Teacher Self-Efficacy Scale,” and the “Collective Efficacy Scale.” Arithmetic mean, Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient, and multiple linear regression analysis were used in the data analysis.FindingsThe results revealed positive and significant relationships between school leadership, teacher self-efficacy, and collective teacher efficacy. In addition, effective school leadership behaviors and teacher self-efficacy perceptions were found to be positive and significant predictors of collective teacher efficacy perceptions.Originality/valueSchool principals can implement practices to enhance teachers’ competence, to make them feel more effective and competent as a group. In this sense, teachers who do not feel competent can be guided by those who have more experience in the profession. Additionally, opportunities through which they can experience success can be created for these teachers.

Cognitive perspectives have the potential to make three central contributions to the study and practice of school leadership: to redefine the meaning of effective leadership; to change our understanding of the knowledge base required to exercise effective leadership; and to reform the means for developing effective school leadership. This paper describes the nature of each of these contributions and the present status of efforts to progress with each.

Survey Responses

Effective school leadership is crucial to a school’s success. Yet throughout the world, attracting and retaining qualified school leaders is often a formidable challenge. To discern ways in which we may recruit and retain competent school leaders, this study compares the extent to which principals in three industrialized countries, China, Germany and the USA, value the characteristics of their positions as principals. Survey responses of principals in these three countries reveal many factors that gratify and some factors that disappoint principals about their work environments. Comparing the similarities and differences of the principals’ responses in these countries provides insights into ways in which we may learn from each other about the factors that influence the recruitment and retention of qualified principals.

Effective School Leadership

Many theories and definitions regarding the concept of Leadership and Management appear in modern literature, as well as interpretations, references to specific characteristics and related topics. This fact shows that over time, a significant effort has been made to clarify the various dimensions of the concept of Leadership and its distinction from the concept of Management. The whole research activity gradually contributed to the development of an important framework in which various and remarkable theoretical models were developed, in parallel with the broader research that has been developed in the field of "human resource management", intending to study leadership styles and managerial behaviors to which they are connected. Many researchers agree that the position of traditional management is completely taken over today by Leadership, which is a complex but flexible, dynamic and at the same time creative resource management process. As has been observed, each new form of Leadership, developed during the 20th century, took into account the effectiveness of the previous one, both in theory and in practice. In this chapter, through three indicative sections, emphasis is placed on the clarification of the concepts of Leadership and Management, concise, conceptual approaches to Leadership Theories and Management Models are developed. Finally, reference is made to the modern, leading role of the School Principal. The characteristic of communication ability is underlined as a fundamental criterion for achieving effective school leadership and administration. <p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0711/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Effective School Leadership

Drawing on Bauman's (1995) conceptualization of various forms of togetherness and Giroux (2005) and Anzaldúa (2007) explication of border theory, this paper presents findings of a research study that investigates how students of color come to know leaders and authority figures. Findings suggest that students identified “leaders” in part based on their relationships and connections with them and the perceived benefit of such connection. Family members and teachers were considered leaders when students’ relationships with them reflected Bauman's (1995) “being-for” perspective, as characterized by positive role modeling and empathy. In schools, teachers—rather than school administrators—were most often described as leaders. These relationships were commonly associated with disciplinary issues and the enforcement of rules, and a colorblind system. Implications suggest that relationship characteristics in the borderlands of schools influence the perception of effective school leadership and school authority for students of color.
