CASS has released a new research report, “Measuring the Impact of Quality System Education Leadership: A Literature Scan,” offering a comprehensive review of system leadership practices and their effects on student outcomes. The report highlights key factors such as the importance of professional growth, system coherence, and fostering collaboration within school communities. Drawing from multiple bodies of research across Alberta and North America from scholars like Leithwood, McCullough, Blazar, Schueler, and others, the scan revealed that effective leadership can enhance student achievement, well-being, and engagement by aligning school authority goals with resources and focusing on equity. The report also discusses methods for evaluating leadership impact and emphasizes the importance of aligning leadership practices with Alberta’s professional standards to foster high-quality teaching and learning environments. This resource serves as a vital tool for system education leaders aiming to improve student outcomes within their division.
