Economic activity is no longer driven solely by the capitalist ideals of land, labour, and capital; there has been a shift toward a knowledge-based economy. As a result, schools are at the pinnacle of societal growth and development as they are the primary institutions where knowledge is generated, translated, and mobilized. Consequently, it is imperative that school climates based on respect, collegiality, collaboration, gratitude, and engagement are at the forefront of education. These types of climates are critical if schools are to flourish. Creating these flourishing school environments will require a positive leadership approach.enAll Rights Reservededucational leadershipeducational changereflective teachingteachingschool environmentBook Chapter
