In 2001, the National Association of Elementary School Principals released the groundbreaking document, Leading Learning Communities: Standards for What Principals Should Know and Be Able To Do. In 2008, with the help of principals and other education leaders, and through extensive research on emerging knowledge and trends affecting education, NAESP updated and expanded the standards for
what principals should know and be able to do. Individually and collectively, these six standards define leadership for learning communities: places where adults and young people are continuously learning and striving toward improving their knowledge and skills.

During NAESP’s 2008 convention in Nashville, Tennessee, NAESP released Leading Learning Communities: Standards for What Principal Should Know and Be Able to Do. A complimentary copy will be sent to every member in the fall as a benefit of NAESP membership.
