To Improve school outcomes – Invest in School Leadership Professional Learning School leaders often don’t see leadership development as a school priority. But the evidence is clear effective leadership is critical to the success of any school (Bush, Kiggundu & Moorosi, 2011; Leithwood, Louis, Anderson & Wahlstrom, 2004; Ngcobo & Tikly, 2010). Effective leadership makes a significant contribution to student’s learning albeit indirectly through the principal’s influence on teachers’ instructional practice, which directly determines learner achievement (Leithwood et al., 2004; May & Supovitz, 2011; Supovitz, Sirinides & May 2010).
