“ Leadership in education is knowing where you're going. With which people, and what difficulties you can meet. But leadership is more than that. Leadership means listening to people. Inspire people. Take responsibility. Give responsibility. But above all you need to have a passion for learning. By sharing knowledge we can learn from each other. That is exactly the purpose of this website!” Andre de Best is Director of the Primary school De Duinroos in Katwijk (The Netherlands). He has eleven years of experience in leadership.

High Performance Schools  

The concept of High Performance Schools is based on scientific evidence as well as the conviction that schools are able to achieve much better results! This requires an integral approach where all aspects of the organisation and teachers are included in the development of the new biographical identity, based on ambitions and experience of the students and professionals. High Performance schools are approached as top athletes: be in top shape to achieve optimal results.  More information can be found on http://www.highperformanceschools.nl/ or our community
