The Leadership Competencies for Learner-Centered, Personalized Education serve as a first step in identifying the knowledge, skills, and dispositions leaders must master in order to build and sustain learner-centered, personalized schools and learning environments. Outside of the education world, many of the Leadership Competencies' themes reflect a larger movement across numerous industries and sectors—from high-tech to health care to nonprofits—toward a continuous improvement approach, shared leadership, and greater transparency. The authors and our many contributors hope these competencies serve as a helpful step toward building present- and future-focused systems of education in which each student can fulfill their learning potential and head into postsecondary life ready to succeed in their careers and communities.
