ENThis monograph grows out of the national effort to explore, understand and improve the leadership in schools across different regions in Lithuania. With the support of Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Lithuania the project "Time for Leaders" was initiated by Education Supply Center in partnership with PE Center for School Improvement and ISM University of Management and Economics. The project aimed at making a systematic impact on educational leadership in Lithuania: to form the basis for a support infrastructure for leaders in education through development of managerial skills, to create new career opportunities by improving, supporting and liberating the school as well as empowering the education community and its every member. One of the project actions was the longitudinal research of changes in manifestations of leadership in education in order to monitor implementation of the leadership competences acquired in the course of training, consultations and formal leadership studies during the project. [...] The researchers of this monograph assume that the leadership in education has to be investigated with the systematic approach: at the national and municipal levels the partnership networks of educational institutions have to be built, public debate and new forms of cooperation have to be developed; leadership at institutional level has to be recognized and supported by the policy-makers and municipality officials with the encouragement of school's self-governance and aiming at both the higher learning achievement of students and leadership competences of each individual of school community. The aim of the monograph is to define the manifestation of leadership for learning in general education schools by evaluating the impact and benefits of project "Time for Leaders" activities.
