GSC Division A Fireside Chat: "Non Satis Scire": Evidence to Support School Leaders for Increased Capacity in Practice and Policy

Session Submission Type: Fireside Chat

Abstract

Panelists in this session will discuss the ways in which research into effective leadership practices for increased school capacity produce implications for practice and policy. Findings from this body of research have provided a description of behaviors and structures within schools which may help leaders produce positive teacher and student outcomes. In addition, these results may guide policymakers toward decisions which will support educators as they promote growth in schools. This growth in schools has been initiated by, for example, stronger community relations, distributed forms of instructional leadership, teacher community, and positive academic climates. This discussion will provide recommendations for future research into effective school leadership for improved capacity to support practice and policy.
