SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
School leadership has been seen as an influential factor on student academic achievement. The fundamental goal of education is to ensure the quality of student learning and achievement. This study examined the impact of shared leadership on student academic achievement. Indeed, understanding work responsibilities is crucial in the frame of education. Sharing school power is a potential reason for improved student academic outcomes. This study investigated the literature about shared leadership and student achievement and it focused on the effects of shared leadership domains (i.e., collaboration, vision, delegation, and culture) on student achievement and the impacts of the interactions between gender and the four shared leadership domains. The findings of this study show that the four elements of shared leadership (from the perspective of teachers) were not significant predictors of student achievement as measured by the standardized General Aptitude Test. The study also found that interactions between gender and the four shared leadership categories were not significantly related to student achievement.
