Leng, N. W. (2008). Transformational leadership and the integration of information and communications technology into teaching. The Asia-Pacific Education Researcher 17 (1), 1-14.
This document discusses Michael Fullan's model of the change process, which includes three overlapping phases: initiation, implementation, and institutionalization.
The initiation phase involves deciding to embark on an innovation and developing commitment. The implementation phase focuses on putting supports in place to make the change happen through time, feedback, and revision. Finally, the institutionalization phase occurs when the innovation becomes part of the regular way of doing things in the organization.
The document provides details on key activities and factors for success for each phase, emphasizing that institutionalization requires the prior phases to be successfully completed and that leaders must develop constancy of purpose to fully implement change over the long term.
Evaluating the Effectiveness of Academic Leadership Programmes - a Way Forward
Presented by Linda McKellar (formerly McLain) at the TEMC conference, Melbourne, October 2010
The document summarizes three models of educational change: Schooling by Design, IDEAS Model, and Strategy in Education Model. Schooling by Design uses backward design and focuses on identifying desired results and acceptable evidence. The IDEAS Model is a five phase process including initiating, discovering, envisioning, actioning and sustaining. It also emphasizes parallel leadership between teachers and administrators. The Strategy in Education Model focuses on envisioning the future, articulating objectives, implementing strategies, and monitoring progress. All three models emphasize improving teaching and learning, being appropriate for the school, using data, and taking a long term perspective.

The document discusses the concept of a learning organization and its key characteristics. A learning organization has three main building blocks: 1) A supportive learning environment where psychological safety and openness to new ideas exist. 2) Concrete learning processes like experimentation, information sharing, and analysis. 3) Leadership that reinforces learning through inviting input, acknowledging limitations, and active listening. These building blocks work together to help companies adapt quickly to changes through knowledge creation, acquisition, and transfer among employees.
Cultures Built to Last: Systemic PLCs at WorkCiro Viamontes
This document summarizes key points from the book "Cultures Built to Last: Systemic PLCs at Work" by Richard DuFour and Michael Fullan. The book advocates for professional learning communities (PLCs) as a way to create lasting cultural change across school systems. It discusses how PLCs can be implemented on a large scale through loose-tight leadership that balances autonomy and accountability. The book also emphasizes the importance of ongoing learning, clear direction, and sustained improvement efforts to fully realize the benefits of PLCs over time.
Reculturing schools as Professional Learning CommunitiesCiro Viamontes
This document discusses reculturing schools as professional learning communities (PLCs). It describes the five dimensions of PLCs: supportive and shared leadership, shared values and vision, supportive conditions, shared personal practices, and collective learning and application. Research from Shirley Hord and others evaluated how six schools progressed from initiating to implementing and institutionalizing PLCs over five years. Successful PLCs require a shift from traditional school culture to collaboration among administrators, teachers, and students to continuously improve student outcomes.
Professional learning communities (PLCs) are groups of educators that collaborate with the goal of improving student outcomes. They work to continuously enhance their teaching practice through sharing ideas and acting on new learning. Key characteristics of effective PLCs include a shared vision around student success, collective responsibility, and focus on student learning through collaboration. When teachers engage in high-quality PLCs, it can lead to benefits like higher student achievement, more commitment to shared goals, and greater job satisfaction among staff.

The Washington State University Superintendent Certification Program is a two-year cohort program offered at four sites across the state. It focuses on developing a research-based theory of action for instructional leadership. The program includes 16 seminars based on national leadership standards, a 720-hour internship, and ongoing assessments. It emphasizes collaboration and social justice and prepares students for doctoral programs and superintendent roles.
The document contains summaries of multiple articles on using data to improve schools. A recurring theme is the need to use various types of student data and input, along with non-academic measures, to develop relevant professional development for teachers. Effective professional development requires collaboration, analyzing data, setting goals, and reflecting on outcomes. Questions are raised about accessing deeper analysis of state test data and finding time for these important discussions.
Wsu Program Overview Elmore And Two Year Conceptual Framewrokguestc4db5f
The document summarizes the conceptual framework for Washington State University's Superintendent Certification Program. The program is based on developing a personal theory of action for instructional leadership. A theory of action states how a leader's practices will increase student learning. For example, meeting regularly with principals to discuss instructional issues will foster a shared understanding of learning goals. By modeling good pedagogy in meetings, a leader communicates organizational values around quality instruction. The certification program focuses on developing instructional leadership to recognize how leadership behaviors impact staff and student outcomes.
Leading educational change is complex and context specific. It requires leadership that considers the emotional impact of change on teachers and gains their trust and buy-in. Leaders must support and nurture new practices for change to take hold. While technology offers potential to develop student skills, large-scale change depends on building capacity through collaboration guided by supportive leadership.
This document discusses leading professional learning and the challenges and possibilities of collaborative professional development models. It introduces a model of professional learning communities (PLCs) and explores some of the barriers to collaborative ways of working. Effective professional learning is distributed and collaborative, using data-informed inquiry to address concrete classroom challenges and improve student outcomes through a cycle of collective enquiry. Characteristics of high-functioning PLCs include distributed leadership, focus on learner needs, experimenting with instructional practices, and aligning professional learning with school improvement priorities.
The document discusses distributed leadership, which proposes that leadership is not the role of individual leaders but is shared across an organization. It involves multiple individuals influencing and supporting one another towards a common goal of improvement and innovation. Effective distributed leadership requires developing trust among staff, empowering teachers as leaders, and establishing structures that promote collaboration instead of dependence on a single leader.
instructional leadership and transformational leadershipRobertus Narung
This document discusses and compares instructional leadership and transformational leadership. It provides definitions and characteristics of each type of leadership. Instructional leadership focuses on school improvement, curriculum development, and teacher support. Transformational leadership aims to build vision, provide intellectual stimulation, support individuals, set high expectations, and create a productive culture. Both leadership styles can stimulate improvement but also have weaknesses like taking time or not guaranteeing success. The document concludes that both instructional and transformational leadership can be applied situationally in schools.
This document summarizes a study examining teachers' perspectives on effective instructional leadership. The study found that principals who were effective instructional leaders used two main approaches: 1) talking with teachers to promote reflection, which included making suggestions, giving feedback, modeling, using inquiry, and giving praise; and 2) promoting professional growth, such as emphasizing study of teaching/learning, supporting collaboration, developing coaching relationships, encouraging program redesign, and applying principles of adult learning. Teachers reported these approaches increased their motivation, self-esteem, efficacy, and reflective teaching practices like innovation, risk-taking, and instructional variety.
Distributive leadership focuses on collaboration, shared purpose, and leadership that is distributed across both formal and informal roles. It emphasizes collegial sharing of knowledge and practice through building trust and creating a learning culture. The teaching fellowship scheme utilizes distributive leadership to catalyze curriculum change by building the capacity of academic staff and redesigning subjects using blended learning. This approach extends the reach of professional development throughout the university by empowering fellows to implement changes with their colleagues.
A complex process approach to organisational changePhilwood
This document provides an overview of a complex process approach to organizational change, particularly in educational institutions. It discusses how traditional managerialist approaches to change oversimplify organizational complexity. A complex process approach recognizes that organizations are complex systems consisting of interacting parts. Change involves different processes like adaptation, fine-tuning, new directions, and transformation. It also acknowledges that change occurs through both planned and emergent processes. The document advocates for building organizational capacity for change through principles like diversity, decentralized control, enabling constraints, and professionalism rather than technical compliance.
The document outlines the key aspects of system leadership as described in an article by David Hopkins. It discusses the moral purpose that drives effective leadership, the importance of adaptability and professional development, and the domains and roles of leadership such as setting direction, developing people, and partnering with low-achieving schools. The presentation concludes that successful schools should take on system-wide leadership by offering support to other schools without limitations, as leadership can no longer be confined solely to one school.
The document discusses the key elements of a professional learning community (PLC) which are focused on continuous improvement to help all students learn at high levels. It states that a PLC is composed of collaborative teams that work interdependently towards common goals and are accountable to each other. A PLC engages in collective inquiry by gathering student data, developing strategies to address weaknesses, implementing and analyzing their impact to determine effectiveness and apply lessons to continuously improve. The document emphasizes that a PLC's efforts must be assessed based on results, not intentions, and that starting the work of a PLC is more effective than preparing to become one.
Professional learning communities overview 1Keith Eades
This document provides an overview of professional learning communities (PLCs) including definitions, core values and concepts. It discusses that a PLC is an ongoing process where educators work collaboratively in cycles of inquiry to improve student results. The key ideas of a PLC are ensuring all students learn, a culture of collaboration, and having a focus on results driven by data. Teams must establish clear norms for collaboration and assess their effectiveness regularly. The document outlines cultural shifts needed for a successful PLC, including changing the focus from teaching to learning and using formative assessments to guide intervention.

Comprehensive Leadership Development, By Mike Heffner and Sid HaroSid Haro
This document discusses comprehensive systems for teacher induction. It argues that effective induction requires a strategic, systemic approach that engages multiple stakeholders and utilizes various components and levers, including rigorous recruitment, strong induction programs, meaningful evaluation, and career opportunities. It outlines the New Teacher Center's theory of action for comprehensive induction systems, which aims to accelerate teacher effectiveness in order to improve student learning outcomes. Key aspects of the theory include defining the goals of impacting teacher performance, retention, and leadership; designing programs with strong instructional mentoring, principal support, and evaluation; and ensuring conditions like professional mentors, program funding, and alignment with other district initiatives.
Colleagues in education are showing interest in using disciplined inquiry as part of performance management in schools. This is driven by Dylan William's view that teachers should continuously improve, bloggers writing about it, and dissatisfaction with current performance review models. However, disciplined inquiry is being adopted without much reference to research on effective performance management processes or the relationship between inquiry and teacher outcomes. While interest in disciplined inquiry is understandable, there is little evidence about what works, for whom, and under what conditions when used for performance management. Educators should examine the research critically before adopting new practices promoted by experts.
A theoretical and empirical review of the relationship between head teachers’...Alexander Decker
The document discusses a study on the relationship between headteachers' leadership styles and student performance on the Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) exam in public primary schools in Kenya. The study used questionnaires, interviews and document analysis administered to headteachers and PTA chairs. The findings showed that schools with headteachers exhibiting democratic and consultative leadership styles had higher average KCPE scores than those with autocratic styles. Additionally, lack of consultation with teachers and stakeholders was found to negatively impact student performance. The researchers concluded that understanding the relationship between leadership styles and exam results could help improve education policies and training for headteachers.
This document discusses the role of school leaders in addressing teachers' needs for power, achievement, and affiliation. It states that school leaders should empower teachers through autonomy, professional development, and having a voice in decision making. Leaders should also regularly recognize teachers' achievements through praise and awards. Fostering collaboration through professional learning communities and establishing mentorship programs can fulfill teachers' need for affiliation and support. Maintaining open communication and providing feedback also supports teachers' needs and professional growth. Overall, the document argues that school leaders play a vital role in creating a positive school climate by addressing teachers' various psychological and professional needs.
This document summarizes a case study on how situated professional development can impact teachers' perceptions of barriers to technology integration. The case study examined an elementary school that provided teachers with an on-site technology mentor for two years. It found that this form of sustained, situated professional development helped teachers overcome their biggest perceived barrier of finding time for technology integration. It also strengthened teachers' beliefs in the importance of technology for student learning. However, teacher-led communities of practice after the first year provided less support than the initial activities with the technology mentor. The document concludes that a variety of situated professional development activities aligned with effective practices can help provide teachers with the knowledge and support to better integrate technology.

The document discusses teacher leadership, which focuses on improving teaching and learning through collaborative professional development rather than formal roles. It argues that teacher leadership is important for sustaining school improvement over time by building internal capacity. Research shows teacher leadership enhances teacher self-efficacy and morale, and that collaboration between teachers improves teaching quality. For teacher leadership to thrive, schools must empower teachers and provide time and training for leadership work. Teacher leadership benefits both schools and teachers by raising standards and engaging teachers in meaningful professional learning.
How leadership-influences-student-learningElniziana
Effective leadership plays a highly significant role in improving student learning according to this review of research. Leadership has been shown to have second only to classroom instruction in its impact on student learning. Leadership effects are often greatest in schools facing the most challenges. Successful leadership encompasses three core practices - setting directions by establishing a shared vision and goals, developing people by offering support and professional development, and redesigning the organization to better support teaching and learning. While these basics are important, additional context-specific factors are also needed for leadership to be truly successful in improving outcomes for students.
This document discusses strategic leadership of ICT in schools. It emphasizes that school leaders play a key role in translating visions of technology integration into reality through strategic planning. Effective strategic goals focus on student outcomes and are SMART. Strategic plans should involve collecting evidence, defining issues, setting goals, and determining actions, monitoring, and evaluation. Leaders must enable and support teacher professional development and technology literacy for 21st century learners.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

3. Transformational Leadership in General
“All transformational approaches to
leadership emphasize emotions and
values . . . and share in common the
fundamental aim of fostering capacity
development and higher levels of
personal commitment to
organizational goals on the part of
leaders’ colleagues. Increased
capacities and commitments are
assumed to result in extra effort and
greater productivity.”
--Kenneth Leithwood, creator of the
National School Leadership Survey
