practice. Central to all areas is
relationships. In order to lead learning
school leaders must be knowledgeable

Leading Learning

leadership which:

students, with a particular focus on
Maori

effective teaching and learning

communities that have learning and
teaching at their hearts

demands for school leaders. To
succeed as leaders of learning they
need to adapt their leadership
practices to meet these demands.

these qualities. These qualities are
essential for school leaders focussed
