What makes great teachers and great school leaders?

At the heart of our work in education, we continually strive for greatness. This can be defined as being remarkable in magnitude or effectiveness, long continued, and/or markedly superior in character or quality. This video highlights what we believe about great school jurisdictions, teachers and leaders.

Research shows that to learn well, students benefit best from high-quality instruction and a well-crafted curriculum. After that, they benefit from strong school leadership. ~ Leithwell & Reihl, 2003

Strong successful campuses have strong successful teachers. The teacher that is on the front line reaching students engaging them and empowering them. The teachers also need support strong teachers become strong because they have strong leaders that help and develop them. I totally agree with this video it takes everyone doing their part to help students reach their maximum potential.
