Effective school leaders focus on instruction and people. They engage in regular self-reflection and hold themselves and others accountable for student learning and create a safe, positive culture. - EEF
Leadership
Effective school leaders apply their educational expertise and management skills in order to focus their efforts on improving the quality of student learning outcomes. Part of this involves keeping up-to-date on the latest teaching technologies and trends. It also requires excellent interpersonal skills – as leaders work with students, staff, parents and external communities to gain constant feedback and find opportunities to innovate. School leaders need to have a solid grasp of operational best practices and an aptitude for enabling continuous development. At RHA, good leadership helps to foster both a positive and motivating culture for staff and a high-quality experience for learners. Leaders at all levels in RHA can contribute to this by developing the top skills needed by school leaders.
