The s.o.a.r model has been used effectively in organizations to facilitate change and development while improving motivation, involvement and student achievement. It is an adaptation of the swot analysis where the major dissimilarity resides in their approach; the s.o.a.r analysis eliminates the bad aspects (threats, weaknesses) and replaces it with positive factors (aspirations and results). In every element of leadership, there is some element of management. However, leadership is what brings that out, not management. Thus, we believe that the term “classroom leadership” needs to be more prominent in academic conversations about teaching and learning.
