An examination of how school leadership in England has changed over the last decade, its characteristics and context in 2009, and the challenges of leading schools in the 21st century.
The National College believes the core curriculum for leadership development in the 21st century must focus on leadership of teaching and learning, outward-facing and system leadership, development of future leaders and leadership of change.
Schools should lead the way in identifying talent and developing leaders, supported by leadership development programmes, visits to other schools and contexts, high quality coaching and mentoring, access to new ideas and reflection.
The report is presented in two parts:
- part one looks at what school leadership looks like (2009) and discusses attitudes to leadership and leadership development and three challenges for the profession
- part 2 looks at school leadership in the 21st century, looking at the impact of middle leadership development , growing leaders and leading change.
The report provides an insight into how the system is changing and what the challenges are that school leaders face today and in the future.
