NAEA Art Educator Leadership Competency Model

The National Art Education Association (NAEA) recently conducted a study on leadership development for art educators.

There are 20 competencies in total. They start first with Self, which is the solo work that a reflective practitioner must do to determine their leadership approach that provides a basis for their leading others. Next is the competencies needed to lead Others, including one person or a large team. The third category covers the competencies needed in a leadership position of an Organization. The final category, External, focuses on the skills used in leadership contexts beyond the organizations that art educators work within.

The chart in the download below summarizes all the competencies by category. On the following pages, each competency is described in more detail.
