📚 The Power of Effective School Leadership A study reveals that "principals’ contributions to student achievement were nearly as large as the average effects of teachers," underscoring the profound role principals play in driving educational success. It shows that effective principals can increase student achievement by nearly 0.13 standard deviations in math and 0.09 standard deviations in reading. Principals’ effects, however, are larger in scope because they are averaged over all students in a school, rather than a classroom. As we recognize the significance of principals, it's essential to explore ways to support and empower them in this vital role. Investing in leadership development, providing robust support systems, and fostering a collaborative school culture are just a few steps we can take to ensure our school leaders thrive. Let's discuss how we can support our school leaders in this vital role!

Nelson Mandela once said, "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." Steve says education is not just the job of teachers. It’s a community effort, and every adult in a school plays a crucial role in shaping our future leaders. Here are some key takeaways: 1️⃣ Every Role Matters: Whether you’re a custodian, cafeteria worker, or principal, your actions and words impact students. They watch and learn from everyone around them. 2️⃣ Beyond Content: It’s not just about teaching facts; it's about applying knowledge to help students navigate life. 3️⃣ Create a Culture of Learning: A unified vision among all staff fosters an environment where students can thrive. Let’s remember that we all carry the responsibility to influence and educate the next generation. #Education #Leadership #CommunityImpact #LifelongLearning #MeetTheExperts #RVASmallBusinessNetwork

Developing Student Leadership Schools can use experiential learning as an opportunity to let all students develop their leadership skills. Teaching leadership can be tricky. At the secondary school level, most student leadership “development” programs are in fact only education (academic theory) or training (practical application). Rarely do high schools have the resources to effectively combine the two into true experiential learning. Leadership education occurse in the classroom: It is the history, theory, concepts, models, and modern behavioral sciences which build the foundation for effective leadership. Leadership training is the practical application of leadership education. It gives students the opportunity to apply theoretical concepts or styles from the classroom to real and immediate situations, both formal or informal, structured and unstructured. #eslteaching #leadership #education
