For aspiring principals, the Profiles in Action provide a clear orientation to the range of roles played by principals, and a map of the capabilities that aspirants need to develop to take up a principal position with confidence.
The Leadership Profiles can help members of leadership teams in evaluating their own current skill level, and in planning professional development opportunities to build their capacity. Profiles can assist aspirants in understanding the principal’s role and responsibilities better.
