Abstract: The Future Ready Framework for principals identifies six key priorities essential for school principals interested in creating and sustaining a new culture of personalized learning within their school. Those six priorities are as follows: (1) Create a vision for digital learning in their school; (2) Model professional learning with teachers that honors experimentation and new methodologies; (3) Ensure that all students have access to anytime, anywhere learning; (4) Enable ubiquitous connectivity, both at school and at home, for all students; (5) Advocate for a diversity of approaches and strategies to meet learners where they are; and (6) Communicate a shared vision within the school community including engaging parents. To be able to address these priorities, today's principals must demonstrate the type of agility and drive that Bill Gates refers to as a requirement for success. Based upon research from Project Tomorrow, a new class of school principal is emerging. This new school site leader brings to the challenge of the position a set of skills and values that inherently emphasize the importance of personalized learning and effective school to home communications. The report calls this emerging principal profile the "New Learning Leader" as they embody the dual capacities of instructional leader and digital evangelist initiating and nurturing new modes of online and digital learning. The New Learning Leader values the potential of technology to create more personalized learning while at the same time appreciating what it takes to bring their teachers along in the process. They have a clear vision as to how to translate a district mission of equity, achievement and outcomes into actual practices within the classroom, working to motivate their teachers to adopt these new methodologies while at the same time being the cheerleader and communicator to the parents on the value of these new learning environments for their children. They are also ahead of the pack in terms of rethinking existing instructional practices and energizing their staff and community to be bold in visioning for the future, while at the same time reacting effectively to new challenges and reinventing educational outcomes that meet both student and community needs. Understanding the activities, attitudes and aspirations of this emerging cohort of school principals helps to drive both enhanced expectations and appreciation for the critically important work of school leaders today. The report examines the trends revealed through analysis of data collected in the Fall 2017.
