5 Effective leadership styles in education

Instructional leadership-this coaching style of leadership concentrates on student learning outcomes by

improving teaching quality. To realise this goal, school leaders adopt the responsibility for the
professional development of teachers.

In the quality of education instructional leadership is considered useful. Leaders know what is happening
in the classroom and that is why there is development because of being supportive.

Transformational leadership-taking a collaborative approach, transformational leaders empower their

school teams to have a say in decision-making processes and enable collective goal-setting. Through role
modelling, these leaders create a culture of innovation and improvement and a shared sense of
purpose. This sets the foundations for growth and success.

Its about encouraging, inspiring and amotivating for the positive development of followers.

Constructivist leadership-this type of leadership is about facilitating the learning process, rather than
directing it. At the core of the constructivist approach is that learners control their own learning, not
teachers.

In addition, students in the classroom have the opportunity to exchange ideas and work together.

Servant leadership-this participatory style of leadership pushes the ego aside and considers the needs of
others, rather than focus on self-interest. The philosophy behind servant leadership is that a “great
leader must first serve others and that this simple fact is central to his or her greatness: true leadership
emerges from those whose primary motivation is a desire to help others.”

Rather, the students will be served or given priority so they benefit from that kind of leadership that
they may feel that they are respected and appreciated. It also helps them to achieve whatever their
goals are.

Strategic leadership-is based on long-range planning. Through analysis, evaluation and monitoring,
strategic leaders assess current school performance and take the necessary steps to improve future
results.
A strategic leader looks to the future to develop new opportunities, products or services for an
organization in order to fulfill goals and missions. Should be more focused on developing long -term
capabilities.

If you manage staff or teach students, it's essential to adopt and hone an effective leadership style.
