School Based Partnerships: Using Social Network Analysis to Measure Progress Towards Distributed Leadership
5. Conclusions
Schools that embrace the concept of distributed leadership, as manifested by broad communication and high utilization of MMP resources, are better positioned to realize school-level achievement goals. The MTL and MTS are key actors within schools-the extent to which these individuals can inspire the development of distributed leadership in their schools is likely to be a key driver in helping schools demonstrate improved results.
