Building Ranks Now Available
Every great school has a great leader. That is the guiding principle of Building Ranks: A Comprehensive Framework for Effective School Leaders, a foundational and innovative part of a broader product suite designed to identify school leadership opportunities, assess skills, and provide feedback to help educators substantially change how they lead their schools. The publication takes readers through a unique view on the two domains of exceptional leadership: Building Culture and Leading Learning. Within these domains are 15 dimensions, or essential leadership skills that, when used year-round to support professional development and leadership goals, contribute to the principal’s ability to develop a highly effective school environment where each adult and student can succeed.
