The Manitoba School Leadership Framework reflects the most current thinking and best practices of effective school leadership. It builds a collective vision for school leadership in Manitoba and identifies the evidence-based knowledge, skills, and behaviours required to promote student success in an inclusive, safe, and caring environment within and across Manitoba’s four school programs: English, French Immersion, Français, and Senior Years Technology Education.
The Manitoba School Leadership Framework (the Framework) was developed in collaboration with advisory and working teams, as well as extensive education partner engagements, including school and division leaders, teachers, parent councils, the Minister’s Student Advisory Council, Indigenous Rights Holders and organizations, and education organizations. As work to develop and implement the Framework continues, relevant content updates will be provided on this page. Feedback and comments about the Manitoba School Leadership Framework are welcome and can be submitted to sai-adm@gov.mb.ca.
Purpose
The purpose of the Manitoba School Leadership Framework is to support the development of school leaders while building system cohesion through a common framework, and to promote shared understandings of evidence-based knowledge, skills and behaviours of effective school leadership. It is a valuable tool to aid self-reflection, to guide professional development, and to promote learning.
The Framework
The Manitoba School Leadership Framework is purposeful in its design. It is to be considered as a whole, beginning with the Leadership Lens used to influence the leader’s work. Next, the Framework articulates the Leadership Dispositions that leaders bring to their work and then moves to the Leadership Focus Areas that organize the Leadership Practices and Behaviours. Finally, the Framework includes the Actions that bring this work to life. This Framework provides the map for any school leader’s professional journey. The school leader’s intentions and local context provide the destination.
