SCHOOL HEADS’ ULTIMATE ROLE IN SCHOOL

Apprehensions have been elevated about the tendency to associate leadership with ascribed authority and position and confining school leadership to the leadership of the school head. Distributed leadership has been proposed and one approach to the distribution of leadership in schools is teacher leadership. Teacher leadership recognizes the important contribution of teachers to school improvement and brings to the fore the emergence of excellent teachers who have demonstrated leadership capabilities at the same time.

School heads help create conditions that support teaching and learning, often in challenging circumstances, in collaboration with colleagues and the school’s leadership.

School head as instructional leader actively promotes more effective practices in the teaching and learning processes and recognizing instructional priorities rather than by serving as a school manager. Instructional leaders’ role as establishing clear instructional goals, being resourceful for staff, creating a school culture and climate conducive to learning, communicating the vision and mission of the school, setting high expectations for staff, developing teacher leaders, maintaining positive attitudes toward students, staff, and parents and community.
