The Leadership Profiles (the Profiles) are a set of statements that describe the Principal Standard in more detail. They're based on real insights from practising school leaders, and show how effective principals act as they progress professionally. As a school leader, you can use the Profiles as a guide to becoming a better leader.
The Profiles are arranged for school leaders to view through three leadership lenses.
How you operate as a school leader depends on more than just your experience. The Leadership Emphasis lens organises the Profiles into four focuses. Each focus describes a school leader's actions as they lead with an operational, relational, strategic or systemic emphasis. The emphasis a school leader chooses to apply in their practice reflects their career stage, capability and context.
Our interactive Leadership Profiles are a tool for current and aspiring school leaders.
Learn more about your current leadership practice, view a developmental pathway to grow your leadership and connect to resources that will support your work.
The School Leader Self-Assessment Tool assists current and aspiring principals to locate their practice within the Leadership Profiles. Identify your strengths and opportunities for development, view your developmental pathway and create a plan for your learning and growth today.
Discover people putting the Profiles into action for self-reflection, professional learning, selection and recruitment, talent development, performance review and more.
The Introducing the Leadership Profiles workshop is a set of PowerPoint slides and a Facilitator’s Guide designed to assist school and system leaders to introduce the Profiles to their team/s.
All the information needed to deliver an informative workshop that familiarises participants with the detail and potential of the Profiles, including the online interactive Leadership Profiles is provided.
Understanding behavioural change and how to achieve it will help you get the most out of the Leadership Profiles.
