Consultative Services for Educational Leaders

Preschool - Grade 12

Excellent leadership in a school setting equates to higher student achievement. In essence, leadership matters. Leadership means vision, passion, consistency, enthusiasm, trust, caring, setting an example, empathy and numerous other things. To borrow from Dr. Haim Ginott (see full quote under Consultative services for Teachers) who describes a teacher as the decisive element in his/her classroom, the educational leader is the decisive element of a school. It is his/her personal approach and mood that creates the climate. To that end, you will find that successful educational leaders embrace most if not all of the following steps to instructional leadership.

1.     Understanding Instructional Leadership

2.     Establishing and implementing instructional goals

3.     Be there for your staff

4.     Create a school culture and climate conducive to student achievement

5.     Embody the vision and mission of your school and effectively communicate it to all stakeholders

6.     Set high expectations for your staff

7.     Maintain positive attitude towards students, staff and parents

8.     Promote professional growth for your staff.
