DOBCEL is a diverse school system, with leadership expressed in many different contexts — classrooms, school leadership teams, central office roles, and across our wide geographic area. While leadership looks different depending on context, a shared understanding of effective leadership behaviours supports clarity, consistency, and growth.
The Leadership Competency Framework exists to:
- Provide a common language for leadership across DOBCEL
- Support personal development, reflection and professional growth
- Assists in embedding Catholic ethos and identity within our behaviours and expectations.
- Aligns and supports the DOBCEL Strategy 2035 pillars and professional standards.
- Emphasises leadership at all levels – Leading Self, Leading Others and Leading Schools.
