9. Yale School of Management
Can a standardized test of “emotional intelligence” predict
success in business school? The Yale School of Management is
the latest MBA program to make a bet that the answer is yes.
Starting this year, the school will begin testing MBA students
on their ability to understand and manage emotions. The
admissions committee will use the results to decide if
applicants make the cut. And students can expect to learn
more about what makes fellow MBAs tick as Yale incorporates
its findings into the curriculum.

we invest, how we show concern
12. Ontario Leadership Framework
The Ontario Leadership Framework (OLF)
describes successful individual and small group
practices for both school and system leaders,
as well as effective organizational practices at
both school and system levels.
In addition, the OLF now includes a section
entitled Personal Leadership Resources. This
section distils evidence about leadership traits
and dispositions most likely to influence the
effectiveness with which leadership practices
are enacted. These resources are intended to
be especially relevant for purposes of
leadership recruitment and selection

13. The Goals of the OLS
• Attract the right people to leadership roles.
• Develop personal leadership resources in individuals
and promote effective leadership practices in order to
have the greatest possible impact on student
achievement and well-being.
• Develop leadership capacity and coherence in
organizations to strengthen their ability to deliver on
education priorities.

27. Preparing Principals and Developing School
Leadership Associations for the 21st Century
There is growing awareness of the vital role principals play
in creating successful schools
We know the difference the combination of management
(operations) skills and instructional leadership can make
to the quality of teaching and learning in a school and
ultimately improve students’ performance.
The business of improving teaching and learning.
28. As our learning facilitator Dr. Avis Glaze presented research about
effective school leadership, we were reminded that effective school
leaders put students at the centre of a school system and:
view education as the ultimate tool of empowerment
have a laser-like focus on student achievement
maintain a sense of urgency about improvement
engage in ‘whole person’ education
thrive on challenge
use power effectively
demonstrate personal qualities such as empathy
know how to motivate, develop and inspire people
include community outreach and engagement
29. How do we prepare leaders?
What are the skills that students need to be successful in
this rapidly changing world and what
competencies do school leaders need, in turn, to effectively
focus on those outcomes as leaders of
learning? Whether we refer to this path as student-centric,
personalized learning, or differentiated
instruction..., what we do know is that these new paths will
continue to evolve, and that technology and
innovation will take root in new models that will require us
to grow and change how we teach and lead.
