PROFESSOR ALMA HARRISDIRECTOR, INSTITUTE OF EDUCATIONAL LEADERSHIP
HIGH PERFORMING EDUCATION SYSTEMS
The world’s centre of high performance in school education is now Asia.

How do we ensure success for all students in all settings?…
TWO MOST POWERFUL LEVERS
Leadership Quality
Teacher Quality
IMPROVING SCHOOL PERFORMANCE
Leadership is second only to the influence of teaching and learning on student outcomes (Leithwood, Harris and Hopkins, 2008)
SCHOOL /SYSTEM IMPROVEMENT
Does not occur without some change in leadership or leadership practice

PAST AND PRESENT LEADERSHIP PRACTICE
SUCCESSFUL HEADS
Successful heads use the same basic leadership practices, but there is no single model for achieving success
(Source: Leithwood, Harris and Hopkins (2008)
Successful heads distribute leadership progressively
RESEARCH EVIDENCE: DISTRIBUTED LEADERSHIP
DISTRIBUTED LEADERSHIP MATTERS (HARRIS, 2013)
Distributed leadership is primarily concerned with leadership practice.Rather than a preoccupation with those ‘who lead’ it addresses what and who leadership is for?
DISTRIBUTED LEADERSHIP MATTERS (HARRIS, 2013)
• Leadership shifts according to need
• Collaborative teams formed for specific purposes
• Team membership changes according to task, roles and expertise
HIGH PERFORMING SCHOOLS & EDUCATION SYSTEMS
One of the hallmarks of educational excellence and success is the nature and extent of professional collaboration.
Focused and systematic professional collaboration can be a powerful influence upon changing and improving teaching and learning.
