Teachers InfluenceJohn Hattie (2008), Visible Learning, p.240
Teachers are among the most powerful influences in learning….
… teachers using particular teaching methods, teachers with high expectations for all students, and teachers who have created positive student-teacher relationships … are more likely to have above average effects on student achievement.
Hattie, Visible Learning, p.126

Leadership
Shared leadership refers to a group- or team-level mode of leadership in which staff members…share responsibility for leading – contingent
upon the task, the time required, and the expertise needed.
-Wahlstrom, Louis, Leithwood, Anderson (2010)
![Page 20: PLMLC Leadership Series Thunder Bay Region Day 1 Brian Harrison, YRDSB Connie Quadrini, YCDSB Thursday February 3 rd, 2011](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649f1c5503460f94c333fa/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Leadership
Shared leadership is defined as [curriculum staff’s] influence over, and participation in, [board-wide]
decisions with [senior administrators].-Wahlstrom, Louis, Leithwood, Anderson (2010
![Page 21: PLMLC Leadership Series Thunder Bay Region Day 1 Brian Harrison, YRDSB Connie Quadrini, YCDSB Thursday February 3 rd, 2011](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649f1c5503460f94c333fa/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Leadership
A leader skilled in collaboration can keep cooperation high and thus ensure that the
group’s decisions will be worth the effort…. Such leaders know how to balance the group’s focus
on the task at hand with its attention to the quality of the member’s relationships.
-Goleman, Boyatzis and McKee (2002)
![Page 22: PLMLC Leadership Series Thunder Bay Region Day 1 Brian Harrison, YRDSB Connie Quadrini, YCDSB Thursday February 3 rd, 2011](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649f1c5503460f94c333fa/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Leadership
Integrative thinking can be defined as the ability to face constructively the tension of opposing ideas and, instead of choosing one at the expense of the other, generate a creative resolution of the tension in the form of a new idea that contains
elements of the opposing ideas but is superior to each.
-Martin (2009)
![Page 23: PLMLC Leadership Series Thunder Bay Region Day 1 Brian Harrison, YRDSB Connie Quadrini, YCDSB Thursday February 3 rd, 2011](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022081603/56649f1c5503460f94c333fa/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Leadership
…leadership towards systemic change requires a conversation about the roles of various staff
members who may assist in implementing these new models of communicating, identifying
common goals...; what happens to innovations when the school leader does not commit effort
and energy to support them?
-Schrum and Levin (2009)
