**3. Conclusion**

School leaders have clearly stated responsibilities set by Ministry of Education, government in different countries. Responsibilities of the school leaders may show similarities but also may show differences according to size, type, region of the school, school year and country. In all successful schools, the principals have high expectations for all students and have multiple responsibilities such as supporting curriculum and instruction, fostering a positive and caring culture, recruiting and retaining school staff, engaging parents and community resources, keeping up with the paperwork, e-mails, parent calls, evaluating teachers, attending school meetings, and community events in the USA [30]. New and experienced school leaders have different needs to fulfill their responsibilities because they have different levels of management, communication, technological skills, and understanding of curriculum. Also schools have different specific needs due to their demographical structure, academic

achievement level of students, experience of teachers, and parental involvement. In the light of the literature, all we need as educational leaders is:

	- by interviews with school leaders
	- by conducting surveys
	- by using observations
	- by administration of school leader evaluation surveys to school community including students, teachers, and parents as part of the school-self evaluation
	- by reports of external inspectors of the schools
