A leadership framework for school communities

Shelley Burgess and Beth Houf organize their approach to school leadership around the “PIRATE” qualities: passion, immersion, rapport, asking and analyzing, transformation, and enthusiasm. The framework connects leaders’ daily work with the aim of building schools where students and staff feel engaged and educators can see the value of their contributions. The description also points to a practical emphasis on noticing strengths already present in classrooms and schools, then drawing those strengths out. Its scope includes leadership at both the school and district level, alongside relationships with staff, students, parents, and the wider community.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • School principals, superintendents, and other education leaders seeking a framework for their work.
  • Educators interested in strengthening engagement and relationships across a school community.
