The Principal Influence

The Principal Influence: A Framework for Developing Leadership Capacity in Principals

What can you as a principal do to ensure that you grow as a leader? How can you be sure that you are on the right path in your career as a school leader? To help you answer these questions, ASCD developed the Principal Leadership Development Framework (PLDF), which supports principals in their instructional leadership roles:

- Principal as Visionary
- Principal as Instructional Leader

- Learn specific strategies that are aligned to each element of the PLDF.
- Discover key aspects of being successful as a principal.
- Find out what the path for growth looks like.
- Protocols, forms, rubrics, checklists, and other practical tools are included.
