the school library, and hiring bilingual staff and recruiting bilingual volunteers to the extent possible (Breiseth et al., 2011).
6. Find ways to communicate with ELL parents. In order to improve the communication process with the ELL parents, the school can train staff on communicating in simplified English on the phone (Breiseth et al., 2011). Breiseth et al., 2011 also suggest to hire staff that matches the linguistic needs of the student population whenever possible.
7. Make the enrollment process manageable for ELL parents.

According to Marzano, Waters, & McNulty (2005), leadership has been considered as essential to the effective functioning of organizations, including schools. Hoy and Miskel (2005) indicated that it is not surprising that there are as numerous definitions of leadership as scholars that have attempted to define it. For example, Burns (1978) provides the following definition of leadership:
I define leadership as leaders inducing followers to act for certain goals that represent the values and the motivation-the wants and the needs, the aspirations and expectations- of both leaders and followers. And the genius of leadership lies in the manner in which leaders see and act on their own and their followers’ values and motivations. (Burns, 1978, p. …show more content…
Bennis (2003) writes that the first basic ingredient of leadership is a ‘guiding vision’. According to Bennis (2003) the leader has a clear idea of what he or she wants to accomplish and also has the strength to persist in spite of setbacks or failures. Drucker (2004) reveals that “leadership is the lifting of a man’s vision to higher sights, the raising of a man’s performance to a higher standard, the building of a man’s personality beyond its normal limitations” (p.108). Daft (2008) supports the idea that leadership is about influencing others to come together around a common vision.
The literature about leadership tends to differentiate between leaders and managers. Bennis (2003) suggests that managers administer, and leaders innovate. Hoy & Miskel (2005) indicate that administrators emphasize stability and efficiency, whereas leaders stress adaptive change and getting people to agree about what needs to be accomplished. Hughes et al. (2006) mention that the distinction between leadership and management is clear by specifying that today’s school leaders are required to influence their stakeholders to buy-in to their visions for school improvement
