2024 - The BCPVPA team, with the collaboration of our members and sector experts, is in the process of developing revised Leadership Competencies that will help to guide our members and other educational leaders in their work. Stay tuned for more information.
Established in 2007, the BCPVPA Leadership Standards for Principals and Vice-Principals in BC is a guide to hold student and adult development, engagement, and learning central to all leadership practices. The publication has been recognized by BC educational leaders and partners including the province's Ministry of Education, and it has received international recognition as a comprehensive and practical guide to educational leadership in British Columbia.
The purpose of establishing Leadership Standards is to foster continuous professional learning and development in working towards effective leadership. The document is not intended as an instrument of evaluation or to be prescriptive in nature, but rather to be used as a guide and resource to support each individual Principal or Vice-Principal in identifying and reflecting on their own learning needs.
