Abstract (english): The idea that emerges from this
special issue on School leadership
and its effects on student achievement is that the future of this field of
research lies not simply with more
complex statistical analyses and large international studies; on the contrary, the way forward for the years
to come is to advance the fi eld through a greater
number of studies of the unique characteristics of the
context of each educational system, its history, culture
and local needs.
The quest for leadership effectiveness can be better
conducted at the local level. In short, the future of
school leadership and its effects on student
achievement rest on the premise that, even though we
are dealing with global concerns and issues, the
solutions must be local. School leaders need to be
able to understand the complexity of the system and
the complexity of the self. They need to be familiar
with the potential stumbling-blocks that may exist
(both within the self and within the context) and how
these obstacles can become challenges that they will
need to overcome. School leadership must shape the
school and its context in such a way that the teachers
who work there can then ideally be more effective in supporting their pupils to achieve better learning
outcomes.
