How do school leaders Sample Clauses

How do school leaders create a culture of professional learning? In the meta-analysis on school leadership and management in Finland by Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx and Xxxxx (2012), several items could be seen in relation to building and leading a professional learning culture. First, the overall importance of school culture has become evident. One key aspect in the Finnish school culture has always been the teachers’ strong professional identities and strive towards student learning. Teachers also have a strong internal aspiration to learn new things. The only problem is that sometimes this aspiration is rather distant from the need of the development of the school as a whole. Second, related to the topic is networking. Recent studies show that work in external networks has become one of the most important – and also time consuming – tasks for Finnish school leaders. This, added to appropriate internal networks, offers both a new forum for dialogue and also a place for organizational and professional learning. The importance of developing professional learning in education has also been recognized by the National Board of Education. Just two years ago NBA launched the first development project for teachers’ professional development through mentoring. This project is called VERME, and it has received a substantial financial support from the government. Linked to that is another initiative called OSAAVA, which allocated funds also for school leaders’ development. Mentoring and dialogue are some of the key approaches used in these programs. Still, facilitated by the University of Jyväskylä, two major regional development programs have been launched (one in Central-Finland, and another in Western-Finland). These projects work under the notion of broad pedagogical leadership and they involve the superintendents, principals, management teams, and teachers in a 4-5 year long effort.
