The Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) and Jobs for the Future (JFF) released "Leadership Competencies for Learner-Centered, Personalized Education," a resource that serves 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. This set of competencies describes and defines what leaders need to know and be able to do in order to create transformative, student centered-learning. These competencies are designed specifically for education leaders, including principals, assistant principals, headmasters, or school directors. A companion resource, "Educator Competencies for Personalized, Learner-centered Teaching" (see ED560785) focuses on the educators closest to and responsible for a group of students' learning process on a day-to-day basis. CCSSO and JFF convened local, state and national groups to recommend ways to use the Leadership Competencies for Learner-Centered, Personalized Education to advance the preparation, recruitment and development of school level leaders in learner-centered settings.
