Effective School Leadership: A Framework for School Leaders: A Guide for Principals For Effective Schools To Improve Students Learning (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781523855513)

The effectiveness of school principals is a hot topic in these days of increased accountability for student performance, but unfortunately there hasn't been a detailed framework available to help support and improve school leadership-until now.

In Effective School Leadership: A Framework for School Leaders, author and educator Dr. Ada G. Omile addresses the problem of professional training by offering a detailed look at various operational strategies and best management practices. Based on hands-on research and practical experience, this unique book outlines specific ways that educational leaders can improve their success.

By looking collectively at variables such as leadership, instructional practice, system-wide improvement plans, collaborative relationships, and strong community partnerships, this easy-to-use guide provides a comprehensive structure for supporting and enhancing an institution's improvement planning process.

With these factors in harmony, educators stand a much better chance of making a real difference in terms of student achievement and reversing the often-fruitless revolving cycle of reform and implementation.

In the vein of Jim Kouzes and Barry Posner, this remarkable resource is designed specifically for administrators but is beneficial for anyone in a leadership position.
