Schools should create strong leadership teams which can distribute tasks among stakeholders to ensure sustainability and secure engagement.
The RA project shows that effective leaders develop a school ethos that supports respectful interactions between all stakeholders. Language used to talk about learners should avoid labelling and all staff should take responsibility for all learners’ achievement and well-being. Dialogue should focus on ‘intentionally planning for the success of all students’ (EENET, 2017) to provide personalised opportunities for progress. It should also include listening to the learner voice to increase participation and engagement.
