Abstract: This article reviews recent literature in educational administration that supports the argument that leadership matters. School principals exert influence on teachers, who in turn affect student achievement. There is a need for an international approach both to replicate large studies and to use a narrative approach to study leaders in their historical and school context. Concepts and methods from adult development can provide an understanding of the role of the principal. Future research in educational admini… Show more

“…Literature in this field makes important connections between organisational processes and narratives (Quong et al 1999;Reissner 2005;Slater 2011), emphasising the value of narrative within analysis of leadership and organisations. Turner and Mavin (2007) discuss the subjective realities of leaders' life stories and identify links to the approaches taken by leaders in their study, noting that further research into how these are used socially is needed.…”

“…In more recent years, more light has been shed on how school leadership influences school development and pupils' learning outcomes. Especially in Anglo-Saxon cultures such as the USA and Great Britain, several projects investigating the influence of school leadership on pupils' learning outcomes have been conducted (Slater 2011). Results from these studies support the idea that school leaders can influence teachers, who in turn affect pupils' learning outcomes and achievements Coburn 2005;Leithwood, Harris, and Hopkins 2008;Yukl 1989;Mulford and Silins 2011).…”

In more recent years, more light has been shed on how school leadership influences school development and pupils' learning outcomes.…”

“…Alanyazında okul müdürlerinin teknik, insan ilişkileri ve kavramsal bazı yeterliklere sahip olması gerektiği belirtilmektedir. Okul bütçesinin oluşturulması ve yönetilmesi, eğitimle ilgili yasal mevzuat, müfredat ve zaman yönetimi gibi teknik konulara ilişkin bilgi ve beceri eksiklikleri, okul müdürlerin hata yapmasına neden olmaktadır (Slater, 2011). Bu nedenle okul müdürü yetiştirmeyi amaçlayan programlarda, müdürlerin bütçe ve benzeri konulardaki teknik becerilerinin arttırılmasına dönük eğitim programlarının düzenlenmesi olası sorunların yaşanmasını engelleyecektir.…”
