Effective school leadership is important for the overall success of a school and its members. The distributed leadership model is an approach that some school leadership teams have used to build capacity in members of the school community, foster a sense of community, and create better teaching and learning environments for all. This research investigates how formal school leadership teams implement distributed leadership, and the impact that distributed leadership has on school climate in two Urban Catholic Elementary schools. I begin by providing an understanding of distributed leadership based on review of the literature. Next, I present interview data from the school administrators regarding their definition of distributed leadership, the approach they take to implementing this model of leadership, and the perceived impacts it has on members of the school community. Finally, I draw connections between my research data and the literature that highlight the importance of communication, building meaningful relationships that foster a sense of trust, and using the strengths of staff members to successfully implement distributed leadership within the school.
