Pathfinders - Leadership

Please note: books/videos can only be borrowed by North Ayrshire staff
 

Introduction
The aim of pathfinders is to collate resources for a specific topic. These resources will include selections from the following, where appropriate:-

"Ambitious, Excellent Schools" recognised that excellent schools are driven by high quality leadership and that inspirational school leaders make a lasting difference to the lives of generations of young people and to whole communities.  Consequently strengthening educational leadership across Scotland remains a key priority for all of us in the Scottish educational community.
Within our establishments there is a growing understanding of the need to develop leadership at all levels of the system. Good leaders lead learning in their workplace; they contribute to a culture of collegiality and shared practice. They understand that effective leadership is important to create an environment which will provide every Scottish child with the best possible start in life.
