This practice wants us to understand the importance of leadership, its objectives, functions, methods, types and how this can determine the outcome of the school.
The preliminary ideas I had about this topic was all the knowledge from lesson 6. Therefor I knew the meaning of leadership, the types, its characteristics etc. But what I didn't know was how this helps the outcome of the school.
I have learned thatdistribution of leadership gives way to the improvement of the school with the use of empirical evidence. I have also learned that to prove this we need to use certain methodologies such as draws on several fields of enquiry, by looking at changes in organisation, the effectiveness of schools and their leadership. It also analyses in order the evidence from each area and gives us a combination of its most common findings. The last thing it taught me was that we need to assess the outcome of the school now, followed by making the act of distributed learning easy for all schools in all situations to follow.
The hardest part for me was finding the conclusions they obtained from the study. I couldn't use the help from any author as we had to see what was in the given document. However, my friends helped me out and we ended p completing the task. We need to work more on how leadership improves the schools outcome. I found an article written by a numerous amount of authors who explain on pages 16 to 20 the importance of leadership and how it can help the outcome of students. Her is an example. The sustainable transformation of a school is the outcome of effective leadership. Effective leadership results in the improvement of physical, psychological and social conditions for teaching and learning, raised aspirations of staff, students and communities and the improved achievement of all pupils. This isn't explained in the power point, so to understand this I recommend reading the article. It helped me. Day, C., Sammons, P., Hopkins, D., Harris, A., Leithwood, K., Gu, Q., . . . Kington, A. (s.f.). Pupils outcome is because of leadership. Recuperado de https://dera.ioe.ac.uk/11329/1/DCSF-RR108.pdf The knowledge I can generate is, apart from the 3 types of leadership that we have studied, that there are more types. Why restrict information o something important. The other four types are the following. Strategic leadership, transformational leadership, transactional leadership, coach-style leadership and bureaucratic leadership. The most interesting is the transformational leadership even though it is only sometimes effective.
Transformational leadership is always "transforming" and improving upon the company's conventions. Employees might have a basic set of tasks and goals that they complete every week or month, but the leader is constantly pushing them outside of their comfort zone.
When starting a job with this type of leader, all employees might get a list of goals to reach, as well as deadlines for reaching them. While the goals might seem simple at first, this manager might pick up the pace of deadlines or give you more and more challenging goals as you grow with the company.
This is a highly encouraged form of leadership among growth-minded companies because it motivates employees to see what they're capable of. But transformational leaders can risk losing sight of everyone's individual learning curves if direct reports don't receive the right coaching to guide them through new responsibilities.
