Canada (Ontario): Ontario Leadership Framework (olf)
Ontario has been recognized as a global leader in educational reforms,
known for its focus on capacity building and the implementation of
strategies aimed at improving teaching. These reforms have been de-
signed and driven with the active participation of professionals within
the education system, ensuring their relevance and effectiveness (Mori-
coni & Bélanger, 2015). School principals are responsible for leading
teams, engaging the school community, and developing a shared vision.
This approach highlights the importance of pedagogical leadership that
