Apréli@-TESSA Share Resources for School Leaders

 

This collection for School leaders is part of a collection endogenous Open Educational Resources for African schools aimed at Continually improving the Quality of Learning (CIQOL) within an Extended Professional Learning Community. Besides these resources for School Leaders, it offers:

 

School leaders have a crucial role to play in ensuring the quality of teaching-learning in their institutions.

 

“The school has an increasing importance as the locus of professional development for teachers. School-based CDP can focus directly on teaching practices and the practicalities of improving the quality of teaching. … However, leadership is critically important for this kind of school-based teacher education.” (Cullen et al, 2012)

 

“The role of school principals is crucial for establishing, shaping and fostering instructional quality.”  (OCDE, 2016)

 

[A school leader:] “Someone who creates the space that fosters teachers’ professional and personal development, and encourages students’ personal growth, creativity, and their own journey of discovery.” (Saavedra, J. 2017)

 

 

The article From India to Sub-Saharan Africa: supporting school leaders in transforming their schools into Extended Professional Learning Communities (EPLeC) explains how the TESSA Share-Apréli@ Collection for School Leaders supports them in developing the pedagogical dimension of their role.
