The Leadership Standards for Principals and Vice-Principals in British Columbia

The BCPVPA has now published the Leadership Standards for Principals and Vice-Principals in British Columbia. The intended purpose of the leadership standards is to provide a framework for professional preparation and growth of aspiring and practicing principals and vice-principals. The structure of the leadership standards describe effective, observable leadership actions which can be used for self-assessment, self-reflection and as the basis for personal professional growth planning.

The purpose of this document is for the fostering of continuous professional learning in working towards effective leadership. It is not intended as an instrument for evaluation or the judgement of the individual performance of principals and vice-principals by districts. The Standards as they are written do not lend themselves to evaluation procedures as they are generic, context dependent and aspirational.
