“…On the other hand, the evidence that has accumulated from more than two decades of research indicates that, to a large extent, higher-performing schools, across a range of different socio-economic, demographical and political contexts, function as stronger collective learning systems (Louis and Murphy, 2017; Schechter, 2008; Schechter and Mowafaq, 2013; Silins et al, 2002). As learning organizations, these schools develop learning processes, strategies and structures, which strengthen their capacity to utilize their collective learning capacity in the interests of their students (Jarl et al, 2021; Leithwood et al, 2000; Marks and Louis, 1999; Schechter and Asher, 2012). Moreover, high-performing schools are also characterized by goal oriented leadership, that is organized collectively and includes district level leadership (Jarl et al, 2021), an organizational climate where teachers typically are committed to their work, are enthusiastic about teaching and have a sense of being capable of developing professionally as educators (Berkovich and Bogler, 2021).…”
