The Balanced Leadership FRAMEWORK™
Connecting vision with action

Mid-continent Research for Education and Learning (McREL) is committed to making a difference in the quality of education for all children. School leaders are pivotal in this endeavor, and the findings described in School Leadership that Works increased our understanding of what school leaders can do to improve student achievement. This Balanced Leadership Framework™ handbook expands on these findings by arranging the 21 responsibilities of effective leaders into three key components:

Focus of leadership (i.e., the areas a principal targets for school improvement efforts)
Building purposeful community (i.e., helping the school community coalesce around clear goals)
Magnitude of change (i.e., understanding the implications of change efforts for stakeholders and adjusting leadership behaviors accordingly)

The contents included in this handbook build the background knowledge you need to better interpret results from the Balanced Leadership Profile™ and to use the results to develop and expand your own leadership practice.

The Balanced Leadership Framework is available as a free pdf download or for purchase. Click here to learn more: http://www.mcrel.org/products/290
