Summary
This chapter focuses on a framework of “content” of school renewal. It illustrates the development and validation of an instrument that could be used to measure the collective effort of principals and teachers who exercise their own unique leadership to generate integrated school leadership. Sound psychometric properties of the scale of Learning-Centered School Leadership were found, including the properties of the instrument in predicting student achievement at the school level. The instrument can indeed measure the kind of school leadership that really matters to student achievement. The seven dimensions as illustrated by the instrument point to the areas in which the principal and teachers could work together to bridge the fault line and become a framework of “content” for school renewal.
