               Professional Competencies of School Principals


               School principals perform complex tasks and face the challenge of continuously acquiring new
               knowledge, skills, and attitudes to meet the demands of the numerous and intricate roles they
               coordinate  and  execute.  Principals  significantly  influence  the  development  of  partnership
               relations among all participants within the institution, and they are responsible for creating a
               supportive  atmosphere  characterized  by  a  palpable  positive  synergy,  as  well  as  fostering  a
               culture  of  collaboration  and  quality  interpersonal  relationships  within  the  institution.
               Accordingly,  the  professional  competencies  of  principals,  along  with  their  optimism  and
               motivation for teamwork, are of great importance. All areas of quality are directly related to the
               professional competencies of the principal. The key role of the principal is to create and shape
               a shared mission and vision, organizational leadership, designing and structuring the curriculum
               and educational process, co-constructing the quality and culture of the school, ensuring the
               spatial, material, and technical conditions for work, establishing and developing partnerships
               with all stakeholders in the immediate and broader community, securing a high-quality and
               professional staff, providing motivation to employees, and promoting processes of monitoring,
               evaluating, and self-evaluating the quality of work. The wide range of tasks and responsibilities,
               as well as high expectations, make the role and position of the principal extremely demanding.
               Given the broad range of tasks and responsibilities, and for principals to effectively respond to
               the challenges and demands of modern times and efficiently fulfill their leadership functions in
               the administrative and pedagogical areas of school work, they must develop further through
               systematic professional development and possess competencies that should be acquired through
               specific forms of training for leadership roles.
