Leading Educational Transformation: Future Challenges & POSSIBILITIES Professor Alma Harris Director, Institute of Educational Leadership

High Performing Education Systems The world’s centre of high performance in school education is now Asia. Four of the five top- performing systems are in Asia. Hong Kong, Shanghai, South Korea and Singapore

How do we ensure success for all students in all settings?…

TWO Most Powerful Levers Leadership Quality Teacher Quality

IMPROVING School performance Leadership is second only to the influence of teaching and learning on student outcomes (Leithwood, Harris and Hopkins, 2008)

School /SYSTEM Improvement Does not occur without some change in leadership or leadership practice

Leadership: What we Know Leadership is the key lever of high organisational performance. Successful organisations have wisely and widely distributed leadership. Effective leaders grow and manage other leadership talent

FIVE DIMENSIONS OF EFFECTIVE SCHOOL LEADERSHIP (Robinson, 2008)

What type of school leadership transforms organisational performance and outcomes?

Past and present leadership practice

Successful heads distribute leadership progressively Successful heads use the same basic leadership practices, but there is no single model for achieving success (Source: Leithwood, Harris and Hopkins (2008) Successful heads distribute leadership progressively

RESEARCH EVIDENCE: Distributed LEADERSHIP

Distributed Leadership Matters (Harris, 2013) Distributed leadership is primarily concerned with leadership practice. Rather than a preoccupation with those ‘who lead’ it addresses what and who leadership is for?

Distributed Leadership MATTERS (Harris, 2013) Leadership shifts according to need Collaborative teams formed for specific purposes Team membership changes according to task, roles and expertise

High Performing SCHOOLS & EDUCATION Systems One of the hallmarks of educational excellence and success is the nature and extent of professional collaboration. Focused and systematic professional collaboration can be a powerful influence upon changing and improving teaching and learning.
