Study: Effective Principals Embrace Collective Leadership
Education Week
An expansive study devoted to examining the traits of effective school principals has found that high student achievement is linked to "collective leadership": the combined influence of educators, parents, and others on school decisions. The long-awaited study, published this week, is the largest to date to focus on the principalship, its authors say. It attempts to get beyond the broad statement that school leadership is important and digs into just what types of leadership appear to make the most difference when it comes to improving schools.
