Standards & Self-Assessment
The 2018 Ohio Standards for Principals are designed to support principals through their highly impactful work and help ensure the critical success of the learning environment. These standards serve as an important tool for educational leaders to identify and apply appropriate professional learning opportunities as they consider their growth and development as leaders throughout their careers. The education community can use the standards as a common tool to effectively support and assess leadership practices and improve the well-being and academic success for each student in Ohio.
