Summary: The general purpose of this study was to provide a more robust empirical foundation for the province school systems in their exercise of such leadership. The study had three more specific objectives: to describe key features of high performing Ontario school systems; to identify how these districts came to be high performing; and to clarify those features of districts and their contexts (e.g., size, provincial policies, role of the director or system leaders, role of professional learning) which influence their performance, as well as improvements in their performance.
