Portrait of a Leader
A shared vision for the skills educators need to drive innovation and lead education systems change through personalized, competency-based learning. By elevating these attributes, the Lead for Learners network aims to support, grow and celebrate the development of education leaders – from the classroom to the district level.
The Portrait of a Leader defines the attributes necessary for educators to effectively and sustainably lead systems change. Rooted in the principles of personalized, competency-based learning and collaborative, human-centered approaches, the Portrait serves as a guide for the qualities that will empower educators to drive innovation and make a lasting impact. The Portrait of a Leader is more than a set of leadership skills; it’s a collective vision for the qualities needed to lead education into the future.
