Yale School of Management

Can  a  standardized  test  of  “emotional  intelligence”  predict  success in business school? The Yale School of Management is the latest MBA program to make a bet that the answer is yes. Starting this year, the school will begin testing MBA students on their ability to understand and manage emotions. The admissions committee will use the results to decide if applicants make the cut. And students can expect to learn more about what makes fellow MBAs tick as Yale incorporates its findings into the curriculum.

Ontario Leadership Framework

The Ontario Leadership Framework (OLF) describes successful individual and small group practices for both school and system leaders, as well as effective organizational practices at both school and system levels. In addition, the OLF now includes a section entitled Personal Leadership Resources. This section distils evidence about leadership traits and dispositions most likely to influence the effectiveness with which leadership practices are enacted. These resources are intended to be especially relevant for purposes of leadership recruitment and selection

Preparing Principals and Developing School Leadership Associations for the 21st Century

There is growing awareness of the vital role principals play in creating successful schools

We know the difference the combination of management

(operations) skills and instructional leadership can make to the quality of teaching and learning in a school and

ultimately  improve  students’  performance.    

The business of improving teaching and learning.

Page 28: Leadership in Education

As our learning facilitator Dr. Avis Glaze presented research about effective school leadership, we were reminded that effective school

leaders put students at the centre of a school system and:

view education as the ultimate tool of empowerment have a laser-like focus on student achievement maintain a sense of urgency about improvement engage  in  ‘whole  person’  education   thrive on challenge use power effectively demonstrate personal qualities such as empathy know how to motivate, develop and inspire people include community outreach and engagement

Page 29: Leadership in Education

How do we prepare leaders?

What are the skills that students need to be successful in this rapidly changing world and what

competencies do school leaders need, in turn, to effectively focus on those outcomes as leaders of

learning? Whether we refer to this path as student-centric, personalized learning, or differentiated

instruction..., what we do know is that these new paths will continue to evolve, and that technology and

innovation will take root in new models that will require us to grow and change how we teach and lead.
