Educational leaders play a pivotal role in affecting the climate, attitude and reputation of their schools. They are the cornerstone on which learning communities function and grow. With successful school leadership, schools become effective incubators of learning, places where students are not only educated but challenged, nurtured and encouraged.
But what makes a successful school leader? How do you become truly effective as a principal or in a leadership position? While there is no one solution to successful school leadership, there are certain strategies, skills, traits and beliefs that many of the most effective school leaders share.
Effective school leaders build and sustain reciprocal family and community partnerships and leverage those partnerships to cultivate inclusive, caring and culturally responsive school communities. To build these community networks it is essential that school leaders are visible in their schools and community, develop trust and create a sense of transparency and shared purpose with parents, staff, community members and students.
Great school leaders know that they are not running a one-man show; that they cannot do it all alone. They know that they must surround themselves with great teachers and colleagues and, not only that, they must fully support teachers and staff by encouraging them to continually learn, develop and, perhaps most important, become leaders themselves.
Successful school leaders use data, including standardized and school-based assessments, to drive continuous improvement through site-based decision-making for the express purpose of promoting equitable and culturally responsive opportunities for all students. The opportunities that data present are many and the most effective leaders are able to leverage that data to make strategic decisions to benefit their students.
The very best leaders are also visionaries. They have a goal that they can unite a team around and a plan to help them get there. Not just that, but they are able to clearly articulate their school vision and goals.
Vision is perhaps one of the most important qualities a leader can have as it provides momentum and direction, not just for the team leader but for each and every team member. Of course, in order for leaders to be successful in pursuing their vision and enacting their plan, they must pair their vision with unrelenting passion. Vision and passion from an effective leader should generate inspiration, motivation and excitement that permeates throughout the school.
What most educators already know is that failure can be the greatest teacher. Just as teachers should encourage risk-taking amongst their students in order to spur growth, truly effective leaders encourage risk-taking amongst their subordinates and colleagues by creating a supportive environment that rewards not just successful ideas or initiatives but effort as well, no matter the outcome.
Change, while good, can also be disruptive when it occurs too frequently. In the case of school leadership, it has been documented that frequent turnover results in a negative school climate, which in turn has a negative effect on student performance.
To be a successful and effective leader is no easy feat. Yet, effective school leaders are desperately needed in thousands of schools and educational institutions across this country and around the world.
Sometime around 65 C.E., Jewish high priest Joshua ben Gamla issued a religious decree that every Jewish father should send his young sons to primary school to learn to read in order to study the Torah. A few years later, in the year 70, the Roman army destroyed the Second Temple following a Jewish revolt. Temple rituals had been a pillar of Jewish religious life. To replace them, Jewish religious leaders emphasized the need for studying the Torah in synagogues. They also gave increased importance to the earlier religious decree on educating sons, making it a compulsory religious duty for all Jewish fathers. Over the next few centuries, a formal school system attached to synagogues was established.

Even though services related to mental ill-health can be found outside the school setting, these community mental health services are often underutilized. For example, Kauffman, [21], Langer et al. [22], and Merikangas et al. [23] showed only 20% of children and youths received help to address their needs related to mental health, whereas Armbruster and Fallon [24], and McKay et al. [25] showed the help children and youths receive is often prematurely ended. Instead, SBMHS seem to resolve some of the known barriers that prevent access to mental health services for children and youths, such as lack of insurance, shortage of medical or psychological mental health professionals, mental health stigma, or the lack of transportation opportunities [26].
The effectiveness of SBMHS has been studied in several reviews and meta-analyses. In general, mental health programs through SBMHS were found to have a positive effect on emotional and behavior problems [20]. Hoagwood and Erwin [27] identified three types of services that had a clear impact (i.e., cognitive behavioral techniques, social skills training, and teacher consultation models). Other studies evaluating multifaceted and multilevel interventions showed improvements to mental health outcomes [28,29]. However, Caldwell et al. [30], focusing on SBMHS at secondary schools for youths with depression and anxiety, found limited evidence for their effectiveness. Fazel et al., [31] suggested these results might be premature and that long-term follow-ups should be applied to investigate effectiveness. Systematic reviews on the effect of SBMHS on specific target groups such as primary school children [32] or elementary school children [33] showed positive effects on their mental health. To conclude, even though these studies generally indicate positive effects of SBMHS, general conclusions are made difficult by the heterogeneity of interventions and evaluation designs used [34].
Generally, implementation-related information could be found for all five CFIR domains, but some of the subfactors in CFIR seemed to be particularly relevant to implementing SBMHS. Frequently named intervention characteristics were the adaptability of the intervention, the design quality and packaging of the intervention, and the costs associated with the intervention. For example, programs were often adapted to the content of the staff training, the way the treatment within the program was conducted, and the evaluation of the treatment compliance to fit to the local context [68]. Moreover, adaptation of the program to the local conditions and the target group was crucial [66]. One example of a concrete adaptation was to change the language used in the program so that students with diverse backgrounds could be reached [66]. Language and the way the program was packaged didactically was also identified in another study as culturally inappropriate and a hindrance to implementation of the program for certain minority groups [69]. Furthermore, the service range of the program as well as the facilities (e.g., rooms used for the programs) needed to be adapted based on the needs of the children and youths in that school [75]. Adaptability was more often mentioned when indicated programs were implemented compared to universal or selective programs.
The Officer in the Personnel Support Service ensures that all civilian newcomers to the International Staff are helped to settle into their new environment. Staff members recruited from outside the host country receive general information on living in Belgium, as well as guidance concerning housing and schools, in advance of their arrival. The Personnel Support Officer arranges for a sponsor to guide the newcomer through the first days at NATO, and an induction course is given every three months to inform the latest recruits about various aspects of working at NATO HQ.
Furthermore, NATO offers a range of executive and management development programmes, designed to enhance the leadership abilities and potential of NATO staff. The programmes are tailored to meet the requirements of various levels of managers and leaders.
