By noting the process by which a school principal and teachers employ collaboration characteristics to establish and manage a new, specialized course in a public high school, this paper examines ideal school principal leadership and collaboration characteristics with teachers. Below are methods to make progress in autonomous school improvement based on the establishment of a course for students wishing to enter a faculty of education in a public high school: 1. The will to improve problems based on recognition of current situations; 2. Deciding on an improvement goal and drawing a outline map toward fulfilling it; 3. Preparing materials to strengthen common awareness among teachers and offering explanations to convince them; and 4. Paying attention to the division of labor and handing over of responsibilities. What is important in this series of processes is that the principal must have a conviction for improvement while exercising leadership. Next, concerning collaboration characteristics with mid-level leader, the principal should strengthen communications with mid-level leader and should guide them so that a core of teachers with a high degree of expertise and awareness can exercise leadership in those aspects. Also, in terms of collaboration characteristics with teachers not in mid-level leader, the principal should take advantage of communication opportunities to listen to thoughts about school improvement and actively use them toward this end. Using the opinions of young teachers is also particularly important from their development perspective.
