Abstract

Successful educators are chameleons. As chameleons alter their appearance to suit their environment, so too must educators change their strategies and mind-sets to adapt to changes in education (Laymon 2010). While chameleons adapt in order to blend in, educators must adapt to new surroundings to ensure that students are prepared for full entry into society. This entry must result in benefit to student and society. Schools that lack creative and collaborative leadership cannot move their schools forward to adapt as needed (Ozar 2010). There is a high correlation between collaborative school cultures and schools that are able to adapt (Meirink et al. 2010). Thus, leadership for' collaboration is a highly relevant topic for our time.
