Breve descrizione dei contenuti:

Situated in Northern Italy’s scenic plains near historic Verona, this case study explores the successful leadership of a principal of a comprehensive institute consisting of one kindergarten, three primary schools and a junior secondary school. Challenged by Italy’s bureaucratic education system, the principal, over 9 years, sought to uplift the disadvantaged families in her institute’s community. She aimed to seamlessly bridge the educational journey from kindergarten through junior sec ondary, prioritizing teaching quality, student learning and overall community well-being. This study, structured around ISSPP research protocols, was chosen because of the principal’s recognized achievements in uniquely merging well-being with academic excellence through a social justice perspective, as highlighted in a recent State Department of Education evaluation. The narrative underscores how the prin cipal’s vision came alive by prioritizing ethics and service, nurturing relationships and advocating distributed leadership. She championed collaborative decision-making and formed alliances with community entities to enhance student support. Over nearly a decade, her vision manifested through various strategies: proactive initiatives for sustained success, aligning education philosophies with ethical goals, emphasizing professional growth, improving teacher quality and involvement and fostering internal and external communication networks. A focus on administrative effectiveness ensured smooth navigation of bureaucratic changes
