The Developmental Learning Framework for School Leaders
is key resource for aspirant leaders and is an important component of this action research project. It describes the critical capabilities that are needed for leading high quality learning and teaching. The Leadership Framework describes development within five domains of leadership – Technical, Human, Educational, Symbolic and Cultural - and distinguishes between levels of proficiency. This site also provides access to the iLead survey, a web based on-line tool that enables teachers and school leaders to receive comprehensive feedback about their leadership from a range of individuals.
