Notes

1. Hunzicker, 142, 282–286. See also Fullan (Citation2014, 9–10, 24–25). Fullan argues the primary role of the Principal is to develop teachers’ own learning, as well as their own, as the quality of learning in a school cannot usually exceed the quality of teaching. He writes of a new pedagogy of students and teachers working together as learning partners, merging with the digital world. He cites Mehta (Citation2013) on standards and accountability fundamentally weakening the effectiveness of the teaching profession.
