Continuous Improvement
Standard 1: Continuous Improvement
Principals help create a shared vision and clear goals for their schools and ensure continuous progress toward achieving the goals. |
Narrative Summary
Schools operate in a challenging and changing environment, requiring principals to be visionary leaders who have the ability and confidence to challenge existing structures, take action, influence situations and produce results. Principals must engage key stakeholders in the development and realization of a shared vision, based on challenging goals and high expectations, which guides and directs each member of the school community toward overall academic, social and emotional success. To be successful in this context, principals must understand the complexities of change and use strategies to lead change effectively. They must initiate and monitor change using student data and other sources of information to target and support needed improvements. Principals use key stakeholders to identify, influence and respond to issues, trends and changes in the environment. Understanding the implications of changes for the school and the community, principals demonstrate flexibility and adaptability in their approach to leading and managing change.
