Leadership Standards for Principals
The design of the four roles and their definitions for the 21st Century School-level administrator is aligned with AdvancED Standards for Quality Schools, The Interstate School Leaders Licensure Consortium (ISLLC) Standards, National Education Technology Standards for Administrators (NETS•A), and the DoDEA Multidimensional Administrator Performance Appraisal (MAPA).
AdvancED Standards for Quality Schools
The AdvancED Standards for Quality mark an evolution in continuous improvement and accreditation. While leveraging accreditation as a powerful tool for driving effective practices in support of student learning, these research-based Standards also emphasize teaching and learning; share embedded common themes across Standards; and address students' ability to successfully develop learning, thinking, and life skills as critical elements of student achievement.
