2). There has been a shift in what effective leadership looks like over the years. The role of a principal has transitioned from a hierarchical system, in which the principal is the educational expert, to a shared instructional leadership role that encourages collaboration between the administration and teachers as well as between teachers and their colleagues (Marks & Printy, 2003). “Shared instructional leadership involves the active collaboration of principal and teachers on curriculum, instruction, and assessment,” (Marks & Printy, 2003, p. 371). With this approach, the responsibility for curriculum development as well as professional development and supervision of classroom instruction is shared, fundamentally changing structure and culture within the school.

The first element of Standard 2 calls for educational leaders to nurture and sustain a culture of collaboration, trust, learning, and high expectations. My graduate courses have taught me that effective principals will make the deliberate decision to focus their time on creating such a culture, because this kind of culture is at the heart of any kind of noteworthy improvement and growth. For example, as a future administrator, I will want to empower the teachers and instill in them a sense of value and confidence – whether it be as they prepare for achievement testing, participate in professional learning communities or dialogue, or conduct action research. By asking for and valuing the teachers’ suggestions and allowing them latitude to try out new approaches, they will be comfortable to take risks and in the long run the school will experience continuous
