The Principal As Chief Learning Officer

The Principal As Chief Learning Officer - "In the information economy, most successful organizations must be knowledge-based, value-added enterprises. Such an environment requires schools to be true learning organizations where students are engaged in challenging and interesting academic work and where teachers and administrators are collaboratively involved in learning about the most effective instructional strategies and technologies. In this world of knowledge-based organizations, leaders will do their work by enhancing the quality of thinking of those within the organization rather than by issuing edicts or directives. In order to do that, they will have to create learning opportunities that enable the faculty and staff to become leaders capable of anticipating and leading productive change."
