  1. The European context of school leadership – current trends, innovations and international initiatives„School Leader Competences: the Driving Force behind Teacher Motivation and Student Outcomes”TEMPIS PF conferenceBudapest, 2011 November 24GáborHalász ELTE University, Budapest

  2. The „Great Research Question” „Can we assume that leaders have a significant impact on the process and the outcomes of learning in the school? Is there an evidence-base?”(Quoted from the announcement of the 2010 ENIRDELM conference, Szeged)

  3. There seems to be something new… • The „great research question” has become an explicit European policy question • Strong new research evidence is now available

  4. Conclusions/1 The impact of school leadership on pupil learning outcomes seems now to be proved by strong research evidence (taking into account complexity of the impact-mechanisms) Leadership development remains a complex task(there are no simple recipes)

  5. Conclusions/2 Developing leadership seems to be one of the most efficient ways for countries to improve student learning outcomes(this has serious policy implications) The need for policy action seems to be widely recognised at EU level and in several member countries

  6. Conclusions/3 Research should increasingly focus on identifying the most efficient specific policies for leadership development The next „great question”: „What works in SL development policy?”(the implications for defining competences) OECD (2009): Improving SchoolLeadershipThe Toolkit

  7. Thank you for your attention!
