Within this model, educators need knowledge of learner development, multiple teaching strategies and a variety of assessment strategies. Thus, learning organisations trust educators to make decisions that benefit learners. Learning organisations provide high quality staff development. Schools can only impact on positive learner outcomes if they invest in educator learning. Learning organisations encourage educator leadership and participation.
Successful principals are leaders of leaders.
As a result of this a strong relationship between participative decision making and systematic curricular and instructional change exists in the school. Learning organisations promote collaboration for improvement. The key to collaboration within a learning organisation is to promote norms of both collaboration and continuous improvement while respecting the individuality of learners and educators. Learning organisations develop ways to induct, include and develop new organisational members. The perpetuation of a learning culture is dependent upon the school's ability to develop practices, procedures and customs that draw new educators into the culture of the school.
