Abstracts

PL

Przywództwo w szkole jest obecnie szeroko dyskutowane. Środowisko szkolne charakteryzuje się specyficznymi warunkami, częstymi interakcjami społecznymi i zwykle minimalnym rozróżnieniem między obciążeniem pracą kierownika (rozumianego przede wszystkim w sensie administracyjnym) a pracą nauczyciel-lidera. Nauczyciele-liderzy to osoby, które chcą dzielić się swoją specyficzną wiedzą, specjalistycznymi umiejętnościami i doświadczeniami z kolegami, wspierając w ten sposób ciągły rozwój szkolnictwa. Pod ich wpływem w klasach tworzy się środowisko, w którym uczniowie sami angażują się w proces edukacyjny. Artykuł omawia niektóre ważne funkcje liderów w szkołach, koncentrując się na nauce uczniów, wsparciu dyrektora oraz relacjach i współpracy między ludźmi.

Currently, school leadership is a high-profile issue. A school environment is characterized by specific conditions, frequent social interactions and often, by minimal distinction between the workload of a manager (meant in an administrative sense above all) and that of a leader. Teacher-leaders are people willing to share their specific knowledge, specialised skills and experiences with their colleagues, thus supporting and maintaining the constant development of education. Under their influence, classes are transformed into an environment in which pupils engage themselves in a relevant educational process. The following article is concerned with some important tasks of leaders in schools. It focuses on pupils’ learning skills, support from the school director, interpersonal relationships and cooperation in school environments.
