Many governments, including Malaysia, are reforming their education systems to bring about school improvement. This paper will explore the leadership implications of educational reform, in recognition that change succeeds, or may falter, at the school level. The paper will examine the nature and scope of school leadership and consider how good leaders manage their schools. The Malaysia Education Blueprint (Ministry of Education 2012) advocates instructional leadership and the paper will address what this means for school leaders. The paper will consider the evidence on the impact of school leadership on learner outcomes and discuss the implications of reform for the development of leaders. Y1 - 2015/// A1 - Bush, Tony ER -
