We began, prompted by the late Chris Gonnet, Superintendent of
Grande Prairie Public Schools, to explore the question 'What Makes
a Great School?'in December 2010 at a meeting in Boston. We
concluded that it involved many inter-connected elements, but that
the key components were focused teacher leadership enabled by being
empowered and resourced to make a difference. Rethinking Leadership
sees evidence-informed practice as the fulcrum point for leveraging
school improvement, especially if it systematically supported
within a systematic way at the jurisdiction and provincial levels
to build school leadership capacity. We also concluded that the
framing conditions for the work of the school - the provincial/
state policies, curriculum requirements, financial arrangements,
assessment regimes as well as the policies of school boards and
districts - either enables or impairs the ability of a team within
the school to create a great school for all students.
