1. What I believe is important
What is important is about clarifying and articulating values and
beliefs, identifying dilemmas, ways of operating, relationships
with others and, importantly, how to maintain a balance be-
tween work and life.
2. What others think about me
The importance of collecting information, perspectives and
evidence about leadership from members of the school
community, collecting and analyses of the opinions of others
such as through 360o scans and parent surveys.
3. What I am dealing with now
Identifying issues which are currently active in the school, for
example evidence collected through performance management
systems and coaching, or the identification of fears, needs and
concerns within the school community. Examples of evidence
includes artefacts from Strategic Planning sessions.

4. What ideas are out there
Evidence that the principal has been scanning the literature,
what’s happening in other schools, ideas held by colleagues,
fellow principals and others to trigger professional curiosity and
‘better ways to do things’ in your school. Examples of this sort of
evidence includes artefacts from mentoring systems and peer
action learning programmes.
