In the President's address to the annual conference of the National Association of Principals and Deputy Principals in Irleland on October 16 2009, Ciarán McCormack looked briefly at the evolution of NAPD over the past decade and then focused in on the catastrophic effects of Budget ’08 on education over the ensuing year. Drawing on his experience at international level, the President reasserted the urgent need for Principals to be empowered and trusted to lead their schools.
The report of the LISA project, entitled The Leadership Cocktail: A Highly Contextual Mix asked the core question: "What contribution do leadership styles, attitudes and practices of school principals make towards improvement and effectiveness of a school? More specifically: towards the basic skills of students as examined under PISA?" The report, which was released recently, can be downloaded in PDF format by clicking here. The project was governed by 7 organisations of school leaders in 7 countries in Europe and carried out by a number of university researchers. It was funded by the Education, Audiovisual & Culture Executive Agency of the EU.
