Malaysian Principals Leadership Model: The Quest in Developing Future-Ready School Leaders

Abstract

Technology and digital are rapidly changing the world and reshaping the learning environment. However, we still wonder about the specific competencies that future educational leaders will need. Without more accurate information about the knowledge, skills and behaviors required, it is difficult for educational leaders to implement the best leadership that impacts teacher effectiveness. Developing future-ready school leaders is a strategy for facing future challenges and seizing opportunities. Moreover, it enables us to reach the full potential of future leadership and empowers education to achieve maximum capacity and sustainability for what is. This presentation includes views on developing future ready leadership in the context of education using the Malaysian Principals Leadership Model produced by the Institute Aminuddin Baki. To create the future readiness of our generation, we must make the purpose and meaning of the present, as the vision and aspirations of the future. Before we can develop future ready teachers and students; as leaders, we must have a future-ready mind and attitude. In conclusion, the readiness of future educational leaders involves strategic and integrated changes at all levels in schools, whether in leadership training development or leadership roles and functions.
