Leadership Development Framework (Developed by OLAC)
Developed by the Ohio Leadership Advisory Council (OLAC), the Leadership Development Framework was developed in response to OLAC's work to identify the most essential leadership practices across six areas that outline what the superintendent, district leadership team (DLT), and school-level/building leadership team (BLT) need to do to improve instructional practice and student performance:
- Data and the Decision-Making Process
- Focused Goal Setting Process
- Instruction and the Learning Process
- Community Engagement Process
- Resource Management Process
- Board Development and Governance Process
These core leadership practice areas are the foundation for Ohio’s Leadership Development Framework to improve the quality of leadership in Ohio’s districts and schools, as well as the online assessment and professional development that will be universally accessible to all districts in Ohio.
