Overview
The school principal is considered the most influential element in any school. Their leadership determines the quality of education, the learning climate, the professionalism and ethics of teachers, and the level of attention given to students.
The Principal's Impact
If a school is traditional, lacking a clear identity, uninnovative, with low focus and minimal student engagement—the fingers point to the principal's leadership
Conversely, if teaching excellence is high, activity quality is outstanding, and students are performing at their best—the credit goes to the principal's leadership as the key to success or failure
What Is Educational Leadership?
Educational leadership is the process of persuading group members to cooperate in achieving a shared goal they agree upon with the leader
Members must recognize the importance of the goal and interact in ways that ensure group cohesion
The leader guides the group in directions that maintain the integrity and integration of their collective work
