The practice of shared leadership is gaining traction in schools. Kimberley Miles, Principal of East Gresham School in Oregan is our guest this week and she promotes the distribution of leadership roles and decision-making processes among teachers, staff, and students. This inclusive approach leads to more democratic decision-making, greater community buy-in, and the cultivation of future leaders within the school. By embracing shared leadership, schools can foster a more engaged and participatory culture.
