STRAND 1: Successful school principals

Objectives are to:

• identify the criteria used to define successful leadership in each participating country

• investigate and analyse the knowledge, skills and dispositions which successful school leaders use in implementing leadership practices across a range of successful primary and secondary schools in different countries and in different policy and social contexts

• identify those leadership practices that are uniquely important to large vs small schools, urban vs rural schools, schools with homogenous vs diverse student populations, and high vs low poverty schools

•explore the relationship between leadership values, practices, broader social and school specific conditions, and student outcomes in different countries.

 

The research for this strand has:

• produced and published the largest, most comprehensive body of research internationally on successful principal leadership

• provided a unique contribution to knowledge in successful schools

• developed over one hundred cases of successful primary and secondary principals across the participating countries

• continues to build on this unparalleled and unique bank of case knowledge
