Leadership qualities
"Four educational leadership qualities underpin principals’ ability to lead their schools: manaakitanga (leading with moral purpose), pono (having self-belief), ako (being a learner), and awhinatanga (guiding and supporting). These qualities are at the heart of effective leadership in Aotearoa." From Qualities in Kiwi Leadership for Principals

Bennett, D. (2000). The school of the future: Key issues for school leaders. Nottingham, UK: National College of School Leaders.
What will the leaders of schools in the future be like? It could be that future schools will face radically different challenges that will require different qualities and skills for those in leadership roles. In this article from the National College of School Leadership, David Bennett considers five of these challenges, together with five sets of leadership qualities to meet them.
The ideas in the article were developed by a group of school leaders who were working with the author on the question, ‘What will be the leadership paradigm for the school of the future?’

What is an Innovative Learning Environment?
A learning environment may be understood to be the complete physical, social and pedagogical context in which learning is intended to occur.
An innovative environment is one that is capable of evolving and adapting as educational practices evolve and change – thus remaining future focused.
In the past the term Modern Learning Environments (MLE) has been used. Innovative Learning Environments (ILE) has greater international recognition and the Ministry of Education is migrating to this term consistent with both international usage and growing discomfort in New Zealand with the term MLE.

OECD (2013), Innovative Learning Environments, Educational Research and Innovation, OECD Publishing, Paris.  DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1787/9789264203488-en  it argues that a contemporary learning environment should:
Innovate the elements and dynamics of its "pedagogical core".
Become a "formative organisation" through strong design strategies with corresponding learning leadership, evaluation and feedback.
Open up to partnerships to grow social and professional capital, and to sustain renewal and dynamism.
Promote 21st century effectiveness through the application of the ILE learning principles.
