Schools cultural shifts
Teaching/leading for delivery
• I do my job and teach students. It’s not my fault if they are not smart enough to learn my lesson
• I don’t have time to talk to teachers about their lesson plans. I am busy doing paperwork
• I hate coming to school … classes are boring and we don’t learn anything useful
• No one listens to us or cares what we think
Examples
• It doesn’t seem like my children are learning a lot, but they are getting good grades so I shouldn’t complain
Teaching/leading for learning
A balanced approach to leadership
Proactive learning
Administrative leadership only
Passivity or disruptiveness
PartnershipIndifference or entitlement
Teachers, principals, and school staff
Studentsand parents
Stakeholder
AllDoubt whether
students can succeed
Belief that all students can
succeed
• I heard about that boy from last year- he is not smart and it is impossible to get him to behave
• I check if students have learned at the end of each lesson; if they didn’t I find a new way to teach it
• I prioritise spending time with teachers and changing my school’s culture
• Administrative work is not the focus
• I like helping our class achieve the group goals we have agreed
• Teachers ask me what things I like and uses these in class
Examples
• I know how I can give feedback and I know they listened: the teacher told me what changes were made as a result
• I know that all students can learn regardless of their prior performance- I just need to find a way to engage them
The key is the professional culture..change the culture and it will improve student achievement
Change the culture and students will get the education they deserve

Our students’ learning and development will be supported by:
