Growth Plans & Learning Standards

As you are working on your growth plan, take a moment to read about the BCPVPA Leadership Standards for Principals and Vice-Principals in BC.

“First published in 2007, The Leadership Standards for Principals and Vice-Principals in BC has become the document for professional growth in British Columbia and is a useful tool for personal growth plans as principals and vice-principals assess their current strengths and areas for development.

The Leadership Standards for Principals and Vice-Principals in BC (revised 2015)  is now available for download and use. The Standards have four core domains — “Moral Stewardship,” “Instructional Leadership,” “Relational Leadership,” and “Organizational Leadership” —  with individual standards. The document is not intended to be prescriptive in nature, but rather to be used to support the individual principal or vice-principal in reflecting on his or her learning needs. [http://bcpvpa.bc.ca/oleadership-standards-for-principals-and-vice-principals-in-bc/] [October 21, 2016]
