Leadership Framework
Leadership is second only to teaching in its impact on student outcomes. The Ministry of Education's mini-discussion paper, Leading Education: New Supports for Principals and Vice-principals in Ontario Publicly Funded Schools, released in December 2005, identified a number of initiatives intended to develop, support, and sustain the highest-quality leadership possible in schools across the province. In order to ensure a consistent and effective approach to leadership initiatives, it is important to have a framework which describes what good leadership looks like. In addition, research shows that school leaders need to be supported by system leaders and the district as a whole in order to reach their true potential. The following documents are included in this section:
Leadership Self-Review Tool (LSRT)
The Leadership Self-Review Tool (LSRT) is a tool developed to help school boards assess the support they offer their school leaders. This CD-ROM is designed to enable boards to plan implementation of the LSRT in their own districts. It includes recommendations for effective use of the tool, the survey itself, and a gap analysis scoring sheet, as well as reviews of the research on leadership and student achievement and reports on the piloting of the LSRT in five school boards. Boards have the flexibility to determine how they will use the tool and can tailor aspects of the survey to their own context.
