Resource information

The Australian Professional Standards for Middle Leaders (Middle Leader Standards) are a practical guide for teachers who lead others in schools.  

They help middle leaders understand what good leadership looks like and support them to grow in their role while improving teaching and learning. 

The Middle Leader Standards were built in consultation with the profession. They were created to recognise the complexity and importance of the role of middle leaders across Australia. 

As a nationally endorsed policy, you can explore the Middle Leader Standards to support your middle leadership development. 

The Middle Leader Standards were developed by AITSL in partnership with the Queensland Department of Education.
