Effective Head Teachers Of Early Years In Pakistan: An Exploratory Study, Qamar Safdar Jan 2005

Effective Head Teachers Of Early Years In Pakistan: An Exploratory Study, Qamar Safdar

Institute for Educational Development, Karachi

Effective head teachers of Early Years play an important role in the overall development of children (2+ to 8 years) and lead towards sustainable changes in school organizations. The present paper is based on a study on effective leadership. What emerged from this study was the discovery of ‘moral leadership’ as appropriate for Early Years and the importance of ‘networking’ among schools. The study suggests that shared vision, trust, commitment and collaboration play a crucial part in making the head teachers’ role effective in the Early Years.
