Leadership as a Factor of School Quality in International Schools

Abstract

The success of an international school is affected by a multiple of factors, most of which contribute to the quality of learning. One of these factors is related to the role of a principal whose leadership quality impacts learning processes. School principals are in charge of developing staff, setting directions, and redesigning the institution. The current paper aims at revealing these qualities and responsibilities that may contribute directly to enhance learning processes. It also attempts to evaluate principals’ roles in allowing teaching staff and admins to share responsibility and be engaged in building trust and strengthening relationships and roles. The results of the paper indicate that the roles of effective principals rely on positive impact on the school staff.
