Pathfinders - Leadership
"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.
