The Standard can be used to build the quality and capacity of principals across Australia to lead learning by:
- providing a framework for professional learning
- providing a basis for attracting, preparing, developing and supporting principals for leading 21st century schools
- guiding self-reflection, self-assessment and development
- a guide to inform the management of self and others.
The Standard will provide a basis for the broader Australian community to understand the scope and complexity of a principal's work and what they can expect of their school leader.
AITSL will provide national leadership and support for the promulgation and use of the Standard by:
- building on the new resource of the pilot studies
- building awareness of the Standard
- guiding and supporting engagement of stakeholders nationally
- promoting awareness through continuing to work with and through all key stakeholders including jurisdictions, peak principal bodies and professional associations.
