Task 1
What is leadership?
Leadership in educational field can be understood as a guidance and influence in an
administrative setting. Leadership in executive roles work towards identifying methods to
enhance teaching and learning while improving the process of educating pupils. Educational
leaders indulge their services in secondary, elementary as well as post-secondary institutions or
in early childhood education centers (Håkansson and Östman, 2019). The main objective of
educational leadership is to securing the academic success through significant training processes
and material improvements. This academy success cannot be achieved or guaranteed without the
support or collaboration of everyone involvement including students, teachers, parents, policy-
makers and even the common public.
Importance of effective school leadership:
Effective school leadership plays an essential role in a student’s life as school leaders

their efforts on enhancing the quality of learning outcomes of a student. It also helps in fostering
a positive and motivating school culture for the staff and students. Leadership is also important

Moreover, the effective curriculum leaders are also paying attention on improving the teacher
quality at all the levels of their staff development process while recruiting, hiring, teaching or
evaluating as they set clear criteria for the professional growth and with the right application of

different approaches to support the faculty members as well as students. A good leadership is
also helps in gaining a positive learning experience for the students (Beneke, Park and
Taitingfong, 2019). They also help in developing and improving a set of skills in order to attain
personal and professional growth.
Vision and values and how does these relate to educational contexts?

right direction for everything that happens in an educational setting. It helps in keeping every
student focused on their goals and objectives and trying their best to achieve them. While, value

important in education as it helps in generating a responsible and sensible sense among students,
also helps in acknowledge the life’s perspective in a better way while lead a successful life as a
responsible person (Chung and Li, 2018).
Vision for the curriculum in home country (India)
It is important to have a vision for the curriculum as it helps in intellectual development,
being a responsible citizenship, social and emotional development while having happiness and
success. The vision is set to become a good leader in the field of “inclusion”. It is important to
direct and guide other people to be involved and be a part of the group (Savin-Baden and Tombs,
2018). It is essential for the students to be involved in a group or team and engaged in the group
activities as it helps in creating better opportunities to make bonds and stronger relationships. In
future, wherever the students will go, this skill help in making a part of the citizenship. In India,
the people have diverse backgrounds, languages or beliefs, and for the students, it becomes very
essential to be involved with all kind of people as every person can indulge some kind of
guidance and knowledge.
Values or aims underpin this vision
It is also important for the schools as well as practitioners to have a clear vision to
generate a curriculum which contribute to student’s realisation for purpose and acquisition of the
set of skills which underpin them. As the vision is to influence and direct students to be involved
and engaged in different activities that helps in making bonds and relationships.
Leadership barriers to achieving curriculum vision/values in the home country
There are many common barriers that many educational institutions face when they tried
to work on vision implementation:
 Time: It is a very common barrier as teachers, students, families as well as administrators
are very busy people and asking them to put extra effort and work trying to create change
can be hard. Time can be a barrier when implementing curriculum vision (Carraher and
Schliemann, 2020).
 The absence of a curriculum framework: Designing a curriculum is very complicated.
Most of the teachers have a perception that they can write curriculum as they right lesson
plans, spent their entire career planning curriculum and design formative assessments and
