Through the introduction of national strategies and regional and district infrastructures, the focus on teaching reading, writing, and math to students aged 4 to 14 years has sharpened considerably. Targets for student outcomes in literacy and numeracy at school, district, and national levels were introduced simultaneously. All public schools are regularly inspected by external teams of inspectors, and their findings have been made public for over a decade. Standards have risen significantly.  \nIn the last two years, however, the year-to-year rise in student standards has altered its trajectory and now appears to have reached a plateau. Policy makers believe that to bring about the next wave of change, the English school system needs tobe transformed. Given the widespread acknowledgment that reform is needed and that leadership is critical in times of change, this transformation rests largely on dynamic leadership at both the school and system levels. Fullan (2003, 4) agreed with this perspective:  \n212  \nEssays  \nImproving the overall system will not happen just by endorsing the vision of a strong public school system; principalsin particular must be cognizant that changing theirschools andthesystem is asimultaneous proposition.  \nThe importance of school leadership prompted the establishment of the National College for School Leadership (NCSL) in Nottingham, England in 2000. The College, which was the brainchild of central government and directly funded by it, was founded on the belief that a need exists for dramatic changes in the way school leadership is defined and practiced in a standards-based system.  \nThe National College for School Leadership  \nThe Secretary of State for Education, under Prime Minister Tony Blair, identified three key areas of activity for the NCSL:  \n• to provide a single, national focus for school leadership development and research;  \n• to be a driving force for world-class leadership in our schools and the wider education service; and  \n• to be a provider and promoter of excellence, a major resource for schools, a catalyst for innovation, and a focus for national and international debate on school leadership issues.  \nThough ambitious, these goals deserve applause for avoiding a narrow focus on leadership by emphasizing international perspectives, commitment to research, and an evidence-informed approach. These areas form the basis of the College’s key objectives:  \n• develop and deliver a range of leadership programs that enable leaders to build the confidence, skills, and understanding to transform the quality of learning for all students;  \n• find, analyze, describe, and celebrate good practice in school leadership to build a usable knowledge base for school leaders to share;  \n• promote collaborative learning and communication so that all school leaders feel that they are a part of a network of vibrant professional learning communities and have opportunities to contribute to educational policy developments;  \n• make NCSL a challenging, supportive, and dynamic place to work, which in and of itself demonstrates the qualities of a learning organization; and  \n• demonstrate the impact of NCSL on school leadership and progress tow","cbCaikZ1QEfoD5S7","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikZ1QEfoD5S7","pdf",86733,"English","# School leadership and system leadership\n## Leadership as a driver of school improvement\n## National College for School Leadership (NCSL) goals\n## Programs and support for school leaders","[{\"question\":\"Why is leadership considered essential for school and system improvement?\",\"answer\":\"Leadership is described as playing a key role in ensuring schools’ vitality and growth.
