New model creation can be enabled through:
(1) Forming study groups;

The National College for School Leadership (2003) work entitled: "School Leadership: Concepts and Evidence" states that leadership and specifically visionary leadership "…is a process of influence leading to the achievement of desired purposes. Successful leaders develop a vision for their schools based on their personal and professional values. They articulate this vision at every opportunity and influence their staff and other stakeholders to share the vision. The philosophy, structures and activities of the school are geared towards the achievement of this shared vision."
The work of Pellitteri, et al. (2006) entitled: "Emotionally Intelligent School Counseling" states that the "visionary, transformative school leadership model is a valuable one, especially if the leader has a definitive view of the big picture goals and objectives of the initiative."
It is important however, as noted in the work of Pellitteri, et al. (2006) that the leader should use alternative leadership models in cases where the big picture becomes clouded and should refrain from collaboration in this instance with parents until the leader has once again gained clarity in the vision of the direction that the school should head to attain its goals.
Summary and Conclusion
Visionary leadership is needed in many of today's schools because these schools are characterized...
Because these conditions exist visionary leadership has become critically important in order to articulate and effectuate a vision in and among the school community.

Accordingly, the approach taken to academics will center on the refinement of more generally applicable skill sets such as interpersonal communication, team orientation and learning through practical usage of emergent skills. Accordingly, Moore points to instances of interdisciplinary learning as the manifestation of this set of values which is increasingly seen as essential to yielding the best results from one's higher education. Accordingly, Moore indicates that "new models of
Transformative Learning in Adults Adult learners desire more than just knowledge and resist academic teachings strategies such as notes memorization and examinations. They desire something more than just what is offered in the classrooms- the learning goes beyond content knowledge acquisition, or learning equations, learning historical facts and data. It is a desirable process for adults to learn to think for themselves, through true emancipation from sometimes mindless or unquestioning acceptance
He attempts to show that this concept has emerged and is slowly developing in adult education to an extent that it has attracted both researchers and practitioners in the field.

Generally, there are several adult learning theories that basically provide insights and

Behaviorism refers to the student's interaction with the environment and focuses on the external aspects of learning and on that which encourages learning such as positive reinforcement on the one hand and punishment on the toehr.
