روش شناسی پژوهش: پژوهش حاضر، با روش آمیخته اکتشافی انجام شد. جامعه آماری در بخش کیفی شامل اساتید دانشگاهی دارای دستاورد علمی در حوزۀ رهبری و مدیریت آموزشی؛ و در بخش کمّی، تعداد 200 نفر از مدیران با سابقه مدارس متوسطۀ شهرستان گرمسار در سال تحصیلی 99-98 بود. روش نمونه گیری در بخش کیفی از نوع گلوله برفی و حجم نمونه با اشباع نظری، 15 نفر تعیین شد. ابزار گردآوری داده‌ها در بخش کیفی، مصاحبه نیمه ساختار یافته و در بخش کمّی، پرسشنامه ساختارمند بود که اعتبار آن با محاسبه ضریب آلفای کرونباخ (82/0) تائید شد. جهت تجزیه و تحلیل داده ها، در بخش کیفی از روش های کدگذاری باز، محوری و گزینشی و در بخش کمّی با استفاده از آزمون فریدمن انجام شد.
یافته ­ها: از میان ابعاد مهارت های رهبران آموزشی، مهارت های بین فردی بترتیب دارای بیشترین اولویت و مهارت های فردی و رفتاری، سازمانی و حرفه ای-تخصصی به ترتیب در رتبه های بعدی طبقه بندی شدند. در نهایت، توجه به ابعاد مهارت های رهبری آموزشی و اولویت آن ها در انتخاب، انتصاب و حتی ارزیابی عملکرد، همچنین تدوین برنامه ها و محتوای آموزشی مرتبط با پودمان های مهارت افزایی رهبران مدارس، پیشنهاد گردید.
بحث و نتیجه­ گیری: به نظر می­رسد در میان ابعاد مهارت های رهبران آموزشی در مدارس، نقش مهارت های بین فردی رهبران آموزشی از طریق ایجاد تغییر، کارآفرینی، جلب مشارکت، مدیریت و اجرای سیاست ها، به بهترین وجه می تواند منجر به ایجاد تغییرات مطلوب بر عوامل کلیدی اثرگذار بر فرایندهای یاددهی و یادگیری در بافت نظام آموزشی از طریق اثر بر عواملی چون انگیزه های بیرونی معلمان، جو حاکم بر مدرسه و خودکارآمدی و مثبت اندیشی کادر آموزشی در مدرسه عمل کند.
