Leadership is shared in my school, but it is the sum of the actions of individual leaders

# data[].attributes.body
I think that a shared understanding of leadership should be the target in the beginning of the school year. This would become the starting point for building values and ideas that support DLE

we have to start understanding the meaning of DL

My school organization needs shared school leadership which  is more than the sum of knowledge and actions of individual leaders. Structured courses selected as specific leadership actions are organized as a result of dynamic interaction between many leaders and audiences.

All levers seem important. However, since my school does not exhibit any traces of DLE, ihink the 1st lever is the most important. it serves as the foundation of all the others, necessary in the mentality of the head teacher.

We need at least to start sharing information relevant to our work.

In my opinion, the five levers are equally important to reach leadership development (DL), but there is a need for a change of mentality.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that in my school the second key lever can be applied: participatory leadership culture. There are two arguments to this effect: 1. There is availability and willingness to participate from most teachers, students, parents. Their reactions at the times they were involved have demonstrated this in their entirety. We have identified several opinion groups that predominantly act informally but can be involved in the distributed leadership process.

My school requires to work most in key 3 and 5:

My school requires to work on every aspect but most in key 2 and 4. I noticed that people is jalous of his work so I think that sharing is the issue that could create a open social environment.

In my opinion,my school requires all the five key levers.

# data[].attributes.body
All 5 key levers are fundamental to change in school.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe all 5 key Levers are important for a well run organisation. My school is very new, we just finished the first academic year and I believe after learning from the hiccups from the first years we should start with Key Lever 1 so all stakeholders understand DL so a participatory culture (Key Lever 2) can be developed from the very beginning.

# data[].attributes.body
I think in my school we would work on all levers but especially in key lever three, in partecipatory leadership culture.

# data[].attributes.body
All Key Levers are important, indeed . But I feel that Key 1 is something that need to be understood but also implemented and clearly seen in the Leaders actions and dynamics.
Also 5 is difficult as job is more and more time constrained and teachers are , in most cases at capacity , the time to share and reflect tends to became non important.

# data[].attributes.body
I also believe that all 5 key levels are important.

# data[].attributes.body
All of 5 Key Levers are very important!

# data[].attributes.body
I think all of 5 levers are very important and linked among each other.
In this moment, in my school, levers 1 and 2 are the most important so when these two levers are deeply rooted, it will be possible to follow the other points and two have a DL

# data[].attributes.body
it is very important all the levels

# data[].attributes.body
I think in my school we have to work about the first and second lever.

They are the basics because we still have no clear idea of ​​what it is distributed leadership and what is a participatory culture. Many teachers think that change should come from above.
Obviously all the five levers are interrelated and important

# data[].attributes.body
Since this is an holistic matter the 4 areas of development are deeply interconnected and closely interrelated.

# data[].attributes.body
I think lever 1 and lever 5 need to be improved. However, all levers could be taken as a reference point, to promote school development and DLE.

Per sviluppare la leadership condivisa le cinque leve chiave di intervento sono necessarie e interconnesse come in un sistema olistico complesso. In base alla mia esperienza, nella mia realtà scolastica occorre ancora lavorare per  implementare il miglioramento dei vari aspetti e la coesione complessiva.

# data[].attributes.body
Key Lever 1.
Members of the organization should understand the distributed leadership then want and take the leadership of the organization in this direction.

# data[].attributes.body
I think in my school we are at a good level of shared leadership We are working to its  effective improvement .

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the leadership of my school should work very hard on fifth lever. In fact, when you evaluate and share the impact you can understand what's happening and what you can change; it would be a self evaluation

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion in order to get good results all the levers are needed

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion, the five levers are equally important to reach leadership development (DL).
At my school, in particular, all of them exist, but some have to be more worked on in order to achieve the desired results.

# data[].attributes.body
I think we need most work on lever 1. Part of the management do understand the meaning for some it seems like waist of time

In my school, the practice of shared leadership has a positive impact on both professional and human relationships and has an impact on the improvement of development paths. I think we should promote teamwork and share responsibility for achieving goals.

My school requires all the 5 levers

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the lever5 evaluate and share the impact of distributed leadership requires most work at my school.

# data[].attributes.body
Concerning the key 5 the leader must be willing to fully assume the mistakes and shortcomings of his institution. If he tries to escape this responsibility, he will not remain a leader. If one of his followers has made a mistake, and is incompetent, the leader has to take responsibility that he is the one who failed.

# data[].attributes.body
In my school  the practice of shared leadership is having good effects, enhancing different attitudes and development paths. I think we need to improve  Key Lever 5,, but also work to widen a participatory culture. It's crucial to involve the different stakeholders, fostering team work and  shared responsability in reaching the goals. the 5 Key levers support each other, and need to be nurtured time by time.

# data[].attributes.body
Concerning my institution, I think that Lever 2 is what is most needed. Certain members of the organization are rather reluctant to participate or contribute to the school vision and accept part of the responsibility to introduce changes. However, it is rather difficult to convince people of such course of action in cases where their own personal beliefs are of a similar nature

# data[].attributes.body
I believe my school has already developed three of the 5 levers pretty well. My self-assessment showed that there is still room for improvement on lever 3 and 5. All groups are working really well but sharing the outcome with other members of the community, as well as having a structured plan to work on in terms of working towards a common goal should be improved

# data[].attributes.body
While the school leader will play a crucial role here, especially a cohesive culture, a focus on the core purpose of learning, and internal accountability are substantially dependent on all of our inputs and actions. If all members of school is responsible of a parte of the task, each of them feels parte of a educating community.

It's important to start from the roots (key lever 1) and then to develop all the key lever to reach the DLE.

# data[].attributes.body
I think all the five key levers are important for the development of distributed leadership at school.

I think that all the five key levers are important to develop DLE as long as they are combined the right way

# data[].attributes.body
I thik that all 5 key levers are equally necessary to develop dle. In my school interaction is really difficult but not impossibol.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it's necessary to start from the key lever 1. Collaboration and partecipation must be more important than competition between teachers. We should work for our students and our school, not for ourself.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the lever 1 is what missing in my school. The established culture is that teachers are making their lessons and principal is making his bureaucratic work. That's all about DL

# data[].attributes.body
I think all 5 levels need improvement in my school. Distributed leadership is something new in my school.

# data[].attributes.body
In the Primary section where I teach, we begin to implement DL. During our meetings, teachers are involved and participate in the organisation and development of the school. Next year, I would like to involve students as well.

# data[].attributes.body
Unfortunately in our school very few colleagues are really have the sense of understanding of distributed leadership and these are the ones that indeed have a participatory culture. Thus all five key levers need to be equally developed. That means a culture change. I find it really difficult.

# data[].attributes.body
I teaching secondry school In our conutry.there are a lot of innovativ teachers in our school.But not DL in our school.I think that 5 levels are very important for develop

# data[].attributes.body
I think that all 5 key levers are equally necessary to develop DLE as it is the result of their combination at school. In my school interaction is not always possible because of a weak participatory culture but also because people are often evaluated for their individually progress and not for their ability to establish  positive  relationships. An open social environment could help to gain the goal.

# data[].attributes.body
Many times we assist to incapacity and incompetences ....we need DL in the school in oreder to develop a democratic system and to foster relationship and interaction among teachers

# data[].attributes.body
According to my assessment all five areas should be improved and developed. But 2, 3 and 4 deserve special attention.

# data[].attributes.body
Module I and Module II has meant for me a favorable context for a deeper reflection on the type of leadership promoted in my institution and the necessary and possible steps to develop and support DLE. I believe that the five key levers act simultaneously, as they also represent levels at which changes occur interconnected.I believe that at this point in my institution more time and effort should be allocated to the implementation of strategies at the level of the institutional structures, to increase their permissiveness, with effects on the other levels, such as the participatory organizational culture. Thus, the attempt to develop institutional structures facilitating DLE, precisely through concrete interventions at school level (creating opportunities for participation in decision-making groups of as many teachers as possible, involving as many colleagues in the design of joint working procedures on different compartments, accessibility of formal and informal committees and working groups, support and allocation of resources so that as many teachers as possible can coordinate projects, engage in innovation and apply shared learning, expand the composition of working committees and forums for sharing innovation) all of this implicitly leads to decanting and sharing common values (​​such as: respect for all, engagement, assuming responsibility, encouraging criticism and evaluation and feedback as they support school improvement).  Implicitly, by allocating time and working further on the development of institutional structures permissive to participatory leadership, it will lead to the consolidation of a participatory culture, as well as a profound understanding of the DLE. Structural changes take place together with and interdetermined with cultural change. The two levels are those that I believe that intervention at the level of my institution is particularly needed at present.

Raising awareness and ultimately achieving understanding pf DL is of paramount importance as this is the firts step to be taken. This idea is new to my context and familiarisation and acceptance will result in effective applica

# data[].attributes.body
All five levers are very important - the key to success is not doing more work and making more changes, but doing the right work, and making the right changes. It is important to increase school autonomy, finance and accountability

# data[].attributes.body
I would say Key Lever 4 only because I feel that maybe a bit greater recognition should be given to some of the colleagues who have shared that their contribution has not been valued appropriately.

# data[].attributes.body
Distributed leadership is fundamental to an effective involvement of all in building a quality school. The key Lever 1  is the basis for the development of the following levels, with a participatory culture where the sharing of ideas and experiences can increase professional development and enhance the capacity and motivation of professionals. This way the structures become more capable of the necessary changes and transformations that a quality school demands permanently. The involvement of professionals and the opening of the school to the outside are key to this change that the school demands. As part of the whole process for effective leadership, a process of monitoring and evaluating processes and results based on benchmarks and with the participation of all is needed to have the results of that evaluation analyzed and integrated into the process of transformation and Improvement.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel Key Lever 1 requires most work at my school, but I also believe KL 1 should be developed together with KL2

# data[].attributes.body
I think, all 5 levels are very important for supporting DL.
My school require to pass through all of them starting with Key levers 1 to Key levers 5.

# data[].attributes.body
I don´t think there is a clear understanding of what DL is and of it´s benefits in terms of the school’s organization and of promoting holistic learning in my school. Being too focused in academic, cognitive learning and in test driven teaching, social and democratic skills and holistic learning aren´t really a focus at the moment. So, naturally the 1st lever is essential has a starting point, if a shift is to me promoted.

Also, 4th lever would be fundamental to work with, since a rigid set of responsibilities is established for each group, which in turn disengages all the others from investing in so many aspects of the decision making process and demotes participation efforts.  There is a need for a more open social environment in which participation from all sectors of the school can occur and be value, instead of being dismissed or rejected as threatening or imposed, and being restricted to a small group of formal leaders. This environment, where there is an incentive for participation in discussions and in decision making processes could definitely promote a participatory culture (2nd lever) from not only teachers, but also students, parents and all other participants of the school.

# data[].attributes.body
Open social environment and participatory culture require more work in my school. Teachers, parents, students and school administration are like separate mechanism of action. There is no one direction and a team work.

# data[].attributes.body
It´s real hard to pick up one lever here since they are all woven together in a system for developing DLE. If I have to choose I say that no 2 is most important. What happens if all members at school don´t wont to be a part of the necessity of participation? I think this is the hardest lever. To get every one the same track.

# data[].attributes.body
In my school we have an open social environment, valuing each contribution (teachers, students, parents) and we also have shared ideas and values. What we need more is to really make changes enabling institutional structures; not all the committees or working teams contribute to the common goals of the school.

# data[].attributes.body
While working on the first task concerning the Self-Evaluation and the Development Plan, I come to the conclusion that we have got quite a good shared understanding of distributed leadership. The 4 other levers are present and can be refined. Especially the participation from the pupils and parents and the evaluation and sharing of the impacts of this type of non-hierachical leadership will have to be reconsidered in depth

# data[].attributes.body
İn my School there is not DL.There is a curriculum& program that we have to follow and we are not flexible enough to do necessary changes or to take required decisions

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion, all the levers are needed in my school, because so far there has been no distributed leadership in my school. All decisions are taken by the director, and teachers and students are not asked.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the third lever – enabling institutional structures - would require most work at my school, because people could be explained the value of distributed leadership as well as of working together for the school’s benefit. But enabling the needed institutional structures would be very difficult because of the burocratical administrative organization of our Department of Education.

# data[].attributes.body
Lever 1 and mostly 5. I think for us is like - lets do some things - and it is done.  Now we need some more evaluations, planing, more structured understanding.

# data[].attributes.body
A participatory culture and open social environment should be considered as the strength in our school because lots of good ideas from teachers, parents, schoolchildren are listened to and implemented. But we should improve all the levers despite that.

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion, all levers require work in my school, because until now there hasn't been a distributed leadership in my school. All the decisions are taken by the headmaster and teachers and students aren't asked. Questioning arises disapproval and so it is avoided. The only good thing is that the  school supports innovation and provides the media required to achieve this. But the results arent't shared and recognised  properly

# data[].attributes.body
I consider that without a cleared understanding of DL meanings, without general agreement on organizational values and without mutual respect, levers 2 to 5 can't be properly and useful developed in my school. All of these should start from the idea that anyone in school is important and anyone voice should be really listened.

# data[].attributes.body
All five levers are very important for being in interdependence, interacting and supporting DL together. But in our school these keys are very little visible and we should start with key 1.

# data[].attributes.body
I choose lever # 2 because I consider that Participatory Culture is made to embrace communication, coordination, community, and social interaction. Teachers need tools to help them talk to one another, plan and coordinate projects and activities and work with like-minded individuals, or even interact socially.

The interest in collaboration has been escalating and that demands improved information. Collaboration (like collaborative workplaces that anyone can edit) can overcome any reluctance to participate by identifying who is contributing the information and help. Shifting the corporate culture towards collaboration fosters a more interactive, creative workforce that is engaged and motivated. A project of any size can be handled more efficiently and effectively. Leaderships need to take advantage of the new tools and techniques to get more done. Putting the participatory culture into practice and embracing the applications, practices, and mindset will mean school reaping the rewards.

# data[].attributes.body
The basis of building relationships is understanding. Thus, in my school environment where decisions are taken by the top of the hierarchy, Key Lever 1 is of utmost importance.

Shared understanding of what D. L. means can facilitate the development of a participatory culture and improve the democratic values and approaches at school.

# data[].attributes.body
My opinion is that in our school we share a culture and values but we lack that opening towards the people outside school. The boundaries might be a bit too rigid.

The understanding of distributed leadership is very important. In schools that teachers  are not used to think about this way of leadership, it is important to explain the concept. However it is mandatory that in fact the leader of the organizagion understood that as an essencial role of the school. In Portugal schools have a very hierarchic structure , most of them obliged by the central educational system. So we are used , not to think about the structure but, insted, fullfil what is recomended to do. In this point the changes to a distributede leadership, seam to be much more urgent though, because the social changes are so  fast... that we  risk to get imprisoned in the school if we not change. So,
the spread of information in order all understand what is our language and aims is very important to get into the participatory culture. If everybody feel that can contributes to improve his work and in the end his school is easier to continue to the other levers. Without this understanding, i believe to be very dificult to get into the other... because teachers and the other members of school comunity must be engaged with the culture and values they want to persue.

# data[].attributes.body
Currently i think that there are various levers that need 'work'! First of all a shared understanding of what DL is and how this supports the school's vision (Lever 1) this is exteremly important as without a clear understanding of DL then the other 4 levers are difficult to address.

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion we should start from lever 1 and achieve a shared understanding od DL, then continue in lever 2 and acquire a participatory leadership culture, since in Greece the most common system is the strict hierarchical leadership system.

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion, in my school, it is necessary to broaden the partecipatory culture, but the key level 4 requires more work, because
the culture of evaluation as reflection on our actions andtheir impact on the school, is not achieved yet.

In my opinion all levels are important because they are linked together and in my school each aspect of them must be improved

# data[].attributes.body
I agreed that all levels are important. But, as someone had said, culture is one of the most important levels. But all the key levers are very difficult to achieve. How can we evaluate this key lever? In the movie they spoke in hard and soft evaluation, but how is done? What instruments do we use?

The questions they spoke in the movie is a starting point, never the less, is very difficult to give a answer to this questions.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that all the levers are important.But the Key Lever 2- The culture is composed of visions, values and beliefs, culture gives the North on a compass, leading people in the same direction. In addition, provides standards that lead the way people interact with each other

# data[].attributes.body
The Law and the legibility of our actions is a training frame in action.Positions ,roles and obligations are defined by institutional structures. Of course a prior step for individuals is to understand "shared leadership".If institutional structures allowed the concept of "shared leadership,this by itself would be a training frame,supporting a context of trust.

# data[].attributes.body
For my school what I think we should work on are Key Lever 2 - a participatory culture- and Key Lever 3 - enabling institutional structures. I think that these two levers depend on one another. A school community should first develop a participatory culture, persuading its members to share and exchange values and ideas, and then invite all stakeholders to have their share and say in the school leadership

# data[].attributes.body
I think that shared understanding of distributed leadership is necessary in schools.
Evaluation and sharing impact od DL is very important.

# data[].attributes.body
All, in my opinion. Without having the notion and knowledge of the first key lever, we can never reach the fifth key lever: without understanding and sharing the DL we can never evaluate It and,
obviously, we can't share Its impact on our school.

# data[].attributes.body
Key lever two is fundamental. But before explore that idea, i want to congratulate the choice of the image. In fact all the new initiatives must be well rooted and the ground must be prepared...if that does´nt happen, nothing will flourish . ,  Now i must explain why key lever two is fundamental, if there isn't´a participatory  culture, all decisions can be excellent, but people may not accept them, or even worse, the may appear to accept it but they will do what they want to do and they can resist to all innovations.

# data[].attributes.body
All of them

# data[].attributes.body
All five levers are important. I think that we have to work on Lever 1. We must share understanding of distributed leadership at first and then discuss about a participatory culture.

# data[].attributes.body
Provided that we have so much to know and so hard to work on fully understanding of DL, I would say that in my opinion Key Lever 3 is fundamental if applied in any system in which team work is required. An open social environment which supports distributed leadership  means being open in how you relate to people recognizing and valuing the contribution everyone gives to achieve the purpose and this effort is significantly important in the school where the hierarchical system should not  be rigid

# data[].attributes.body
Our school system is mostly administered by the state, so I think that a first step  towards shared understanding of the DL is consider and discuss  how all school stakeholders will react to DL and try to explore its meaning together. In the majority of Greek schools the idea of a real  collaborative leadership is still unexplored especially among older teachers, however younger teachers are more eager to embrace different approaches if the school  environment is open to innovation.  Greek teachers  are  easily tired of  theoretical pedagogic, this is why the formation of shared values that support DL  and a commitment to inclusive and holistic learning would only come as a result after creating tangible results. This is why moving to step 3 (that is creating structures that enable DL) is easier to handle, especially since it is connected with the method of school projects that involves creating groups and teams and allocating resources to clarify terms. One more problem to be noticed is that in more conservative leadership environments innovative teachers complain sometimes that their effort is not adequately recognized both by the parents and their colleagues, thus they can be discouraged of contributing to the achievement of school goals.

# data[].attributes.body
Perhaps in my school the most important step is to develop participatory culture. For us is the key to initiating changes.
