ACADEMIC LEADER COMPETENCIES

Successful Academic Leaders cultivate a far-reaching range of skills and expertise
​​Academic Leaders have increasingly complex jobs with an expanding set of responsibilities. The Association for Academic Leaders is purpose-built to power the competencies you use every day:
  • Maintain integrity to mission for the academic program
  • Communicate effectively across multiple domains
  • Shape a just and inclusive school
  • Act ethically and morally, with transparency and honesty​​
  • Build and lead an effective team
  • Assess the present, understand the past, and design for the future
  • Make decisions with resolve and empathy
  • Build and support trusting relationships
  • Act with intentionality
​To create the Association for Academic Leaders, One Schoolhouse reached out to more than 4000 educators including academic deans, department chairs, and division heads. Our core competencies reflect their essential skills and insights.
The world is changing, and so is education. In partnership with the Association for Academic Leaders, your school can be ready to respond to today’s realities and tomorrow’s opportunities.
