Overview

Formal leadership in schools and school districts is a complex, multifaceted task. Effective school leaders are strong educators, anchoring their work on central issues of learning, teaching and school improvement. They are moral agents and social advocates for the children and the communities they serve. Finally, they make strong connections with other people, valuing and caring for others as individuals and as members of the educational community.
