About Building Leadership

[img] teachers in discussion Strong and effective leaders within education and training providers are essential in improving the educational outcomes of students, and in fostering the development of a culture of performance and development within the organisation.

Leadership is a crucial element of all kinds of learning organisations, from schools to community houses. Effective leaders engage many different dimensions of leadership, including the technical, human, educational, symbolic and cultural.

Within a school environment, principals have a direct influence on teachers and the effectiveness of the teaching-learning relationship. Through their professional leadership, they provide a clear sense of purpose for the school, and provide their staff with genuine opportunities to participate directly in decisions about curriculum, professional learning priorities, school and resource management, and other policy decisions.
