Abstract:

Developing a vision is a critical component of school improvement and school leadership; in addition, the development of a vision is an evolutionary process. It is debated whether the initial step in the development of a vision is a written statement, but it is essential that the principal create an environment of change. A guiding "frame-work" of action is essential with ongoing communication, assessment, and re-evaluation that are driven by the chief investigator. The link is then made to the classroom and curriculum by the principal.
Collaboration is critical among the principal and all "stakeholders" - teachers, paraprofessionals, etc. The vision may originate within teachers or any staff members, but the principal has the responsibility in the development, communicating, and providing the opportunity for growth. The principal must also be an instructional leader and a curricular leader.
