Personal leadership encompasses leaders’ values, beliefs, and attitudes, they way they interact with staff, students, and families, and how they approach their work.

A leader can take specific actions to improve a school. However, HOW the leader makes changes is as important as WHAT changes will be made.

Research has found that school leaders’ values and dispositions affect the quality of education at their schools and contribute heavily to a principal’s overall success as a leader.

Personal Leadership Overview

Personal Leadership Levers

Belief-based, goal-driven leadership:Leader consistently demonstrates belief in the potential of every student to achieve at high levels

Equity-focused leadership:Actively addresses statements of bias, cultural intolerance or prejudice; strive to create an equitable school that celebrates diversity and supports all students

Interpersonal leadership:Leader builds relationships and facilitates active communities of adults and students dedicated to reaching school goals

Adaptive leadership:Help staff, students, and families navigate changes to the school landscape while maintaining focus on the school vision; facilitate experience that inspire changes in values, beliefs, assumptions, and habits of behavior that do not support success

Resilient leadership:Demonstrate resolve in the face of adversity and challenge, constantly looking for solutions that will move your school closer to its goals and reflecting on your own actions

Academy Design: Professional Development

Design: The Networks of Excellence is a three-day, year-long professional development academy aligned to the Transformational Leadership Framework actions and levers that lead to sustained and dramatic school improvement. Between sessions, Center for Excellence in School Turnaround staff will connect online and on-site to review student achievement data and self-diagnostic results.
