Building a New Structure for School Leadership.

Abstract

Unless there is a radical change in the structure of school leadership, few schools will be able to rise to the challenge of enabling all students to meet high standards, says Anrig Professor of Educational Leadership Richard F. Elmore. With accountability standards creating more public scrutiny than ever before, educational leaders must focus their efforts on instruction if they are to thrive and survive in the current conditions. Based on the essay Building a New Structure for School Leadership, from Professor Elmore's book, School Reform from the Inside Out: Policy, Practice, and Performance (Harvard Education Press, 2004).
