The 2000 schools era is enmeshed in a public discourse around improving student performance; with increasing scrutiny being applied to school results and the performance of teachers. Drawing on two decades of service as a primary school principal and coupling the findings of a study he instigated into teacher leadership and the principalship, Dr. Jake Madden tells how the principal can enhance student learning. Madden explains, through focused case studies in several schools, that effective schools have principals who are strong instructional leaders and work to harness the leadership capacities of their teachers. This is a book for school leaders who want insight into the capacities that come from engaging teachers in improving school performance.
