Great leaders, as opposed to those who are merely good, make the difference in achieving bottom line results and driving success. What does high-impact leadership look like? What do really successful principals do to promote teaching and learning? Schools must ask themselves:
• How are our students performing?
• What are our priority concerns?
• What are the causes of results?
• How can we develop a long-term plan to implement, monitor, and evaluate our actions?
• What does effective professional development look like?
• How do we make the school improvement planning process an ongoing, continuous practice that supports sustainable school improvement?
