Abstrakt: Research has indicated that the impact of educational leadership can result in significant positive effects on educational programmes and learning environments. During an ongoing research project that examines the situation of English language learning in Indonesia from the perspective of teacher educators, novice and experienced teachers, and educational leaders, the impact of effective school leaders has emerged as a significant variable. The researchers involved in the current project utilised a model for the examination of the impact of effective educational leadership relevant to the Indonesian context based on key and relevant literature in the field. Exemplary educational leaders in Bali, Medan, Bukittinggi and Yogyakarta were identified, and the model was used to categorise unique characteristics of successful educational leaders in local secondary schools, citing examples of leaders' impact. After discussing the model, and identifying the variables of successful leaders, the paper recommends effective professional development programmes which are able to support educational leadership, and which could result in lasting impacts on the quality of education, with specific relevance to English language education in the Indonesian context.
