“…Gurr et al (2003) also noted that the principal of the institution has an indirect impact on the results of the students working with others and using a series of interventions in terms of developing individual and scholastic skills, as well as teaching and learning. The purpose of organizational learning was related to the leadership practices of successful leaders that included the provision of individual support, the development of a culture of trust, a shared decisionmaking process and distributed leadership, the development of shared objectives and vision, and the high student"s expectations (Mulford et al, 2007;Silins & Mulford, 2002;Leithwood & Hallinger, 2002;Mulford et al, 2004;Mulford & Silins, 2003). Teachers come to school in time regularly.…”

“…The whole school community may also be involved in the assessment of the strategic plan, and in the identification of its strengths and weaknesses. Similarly, Mulford and Grady (2001) and Mulford et al (2007) argue that parents want to be involved in schools -and particularly in school decision making. Better appreciation of systems and of all stakeholders leads to more appropriate actions.…”

Research evidence suggests school self-evaluation with the participation of school stakeholders could improve teaching and learning. Identification and use of appropriate self-evaluation frameworks, however, is not an easy task for schools. Such a framework, the LEAD School Effectiveness Surveys, has been developed by Independent Schools Victoria in Australia. The LEAD suite of school stakeholder surveys enables schools to evaluate their overall effectiveness in several domains and make informed decisions for school improvement. This article evaluates the reliability as well as the face, content and construct validity of the LEAD surveys and discusses the ways in which school self-evaluation results could contribute to school improvement. Data were gathered from a total of 119,749 students, teaching staff, general and parents taking the LEAD Surveys in 112 independent (non-government) schools and followed a five-year longitudinal design from 2009 to 2013. The results support the reliability as well as the face, content and construct validity of the LEAD surveys. The importance of evaluating the measuring properties of instruments used for school self-evaluation is discussed and suggestions for school self-evaluation are provided.

“…On the other hand, the exposure of the child to the school education and ambience as an early experience has a formative role to play in shaping his future orientation. In fact, the nature and quality of value orientations introduced at the school education depends a lot on the personified leadership agenda and behaviours exhibited by the school principals (Davies 2002;Greenfield 2004;Branson 2007;Mulford et al 2007;Easley 2008;Murphy et al 2009;Harris 2012). It has also been observed that the lack of comprehensive evaluation and generating a need for empirical examination of the virtuous leadership behaviour of school principals especially in Indian context has remained grossly under represented as an area of research.…”

Six cardinal leadership virtues based on Aristotelian and Confucian typology were advanced through this study by developing a measurement instrument and examining its predictive validity by studying the causal association with perceived leader happiness. Based on a sample of 183 school principals engaged in various types of schools, the results of both exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses generated satisfactory empirical outcomes by finding adequate support for the overall leadership virtue scale and the constituent subscale elements. The paper concluded with the theoretical and practical implications for this developed instrument of leadership virtue especially in the context of school education. The major contribution of the paper lies in developing a measurement scale of virtues for school leaders.
