A central aim of ESHA is “to improve the quality of European school leadership”. This vision paper is presented following consultation among member organisations at General Board. The Vision Paper enjoys the support of school leadership organisations throughout Europe. In each educational system, the position of the school leader is vital for the performance of the school. In the Mission Statement for ESHA it is said that “School heads can and should make a difference within their schools by leading and motivating staff members and students”. According to the OECD-report “Improving School Leadership” (2008) school leadership has become a priority in education policy agendas across most of the European countries because it plays a key role in improving classroom practice, school outcomes and links between individual schools and the community. Research shows that effective school leadership is essential to improving teaching and learning within the school and to linking the school to the outside world.
