Today's leader is the steward of the vision and must work collaboratively with the stakeholders to ensure there is ownership by all to the vision. The leaders of the day must promote a positive school culture founded on strong values which keeps at its central focus the learning environment and an effective instructional program. Today's educational leaders are no longer school managers, but rather instructional leaders. Leaders model the joy of and respect for learning while encouraging all stakeholders to be active participants/role models in the learning process. To be successful, today's leaders MUST incorporate multiple audiences and engage all stakeholders in the learning community. Leaders together with stakeholders promote the valuing of academic rigor, self-esteem, respect, quality of experiences, research-based decisions, self-sufficiency and motivation, and reflective leadership. They must create a community where all stakeholders are working to improve connections, coherence, capacity, commitment, and collaborations. Leaders foster teamwork. There are many ways that today's leaders can create both good and effective schools. Today's school leaders must be well organized, great time managers, utilize technology, share decision-making and enable others for leadership. Today’s leaders are personal in their commitment and in their relations with stakeholders. Today's leaders use communication skills to can enhance and improve the effectiveness of schools and student achievement e.g., emails for parental contacts regarding homework and school activities, online gradebooks that allow parents the access to their students grades at all times, and instant alerts to inform parents or guardians of urgent information. The shared vision of the school should include strong relationships within the community that can only enhance the learning opportunities. Schools should be an integral part of the community, nurtured by today’s school leaders.
