SUCCESSFUL STRATEGIC LEADERSHIP SATISFIES THE STAKEHOLDERS.


SUCCESSFUL STRATEGICLEADERSHIP SATISFIES THE STAKEHOLDERS.
Effective education leadership makes a difference in improving learning. There’s no thing new or especially controversial about that idea. What’s far less clear, even after several decades of school renewal efforts, is just how leadership matters, how important those effects are in promoting the learning of all children, and what the essential ingredients of successful leadership are. Lacking solid evidence to answer these questions, those who have sought to make the case for greater attention and investment in leadership as a path way for large-scale education improvement have had to rely more on faith than fact
Especially for struggling students, smaller schools increase the chances of their attendance and schoolwork being monitored. Smaller schools also increase the likelihood of students having a close, ongoing relationship with at least one other significant adult in the school, an important antidote to dropping out. Smaller school organizations tend to have more constrained and focused academic programs. Typically, they are also more communal in nature, with teachers taking more personal responsibility for the learning of each pupil. Summarizing the rationale for smaller schools, Lee, Ready and Johnson (2001) argue that:
Constructs such as social networks, social resources, caring, social support, social capital, cultural capital and communal school organization are bound by a common idea. Students and adults in schools should know one another better .
High-quality leaders achieve this impact ...
By setting directions – charting a clear course that everyone understands, establishing high expectations and using data to track progress and performance.
By developing people – providing teachers and others in the system with the necessary support and training to succeed. And by making the organization work – ensuring that the entire range of conditions and incentives in districts and schools fully supports rather than inhibits teaching and learning.
Here is still much more to learn about the essentials of quality leadership, how to harness its benefits, and how to ensure that we don’t continue to throw good leaders into bad systems that will grind down even the best of them .

Learning-To-Learn: The Imperative Skill for Future Learning to Earn is a very common phrase which we have heard in the era of 19th century but the changes as well as transformations in every field has made this phrase out dated. But, for me, it needs to be altered and the word EARN should be replaced by LEARN. Hence now it is the need of the hour to call it as learning to learn rather learning to earn. Learning to learn is the most essential skill for future. If you know how to learn then that will surely guide you towards how to earn and prosper better in life. In this 21st century era we need to be updated about the latest happenings & developments around us. To synchronize ourselves with latest changes & developments, first of all we must be open to unlearn the learnt and relearn the new. Continuous learning is the key to a healthy mind. A person who does not know how to learn, unlearn, and relearn are the actual illiterates of the future. To quote Alvin Toffl...
