ENThe development of school heads’ competencies is implemented to develop or change the management practices in schools and is to be linked to meaningful change. Therefore the attention is drawn to the principles of sustainable school leadership development. In the first part of the article discloses the core principles as requirements for effective arrangements of the development of school heads’ competencies. It is argued in the article that school leadership development should be a purposeful, consistent and coherent process, reflecting the needs of school heads at various stages of professional and organizational socializations (Bush, 2011; Huber, 2008; Leithwood et al., 2011). The principle of expediency requires the process of competencies development to be based on consistent analysis of needs for competencies. Needs analysis provides the crucial information to ensure that competencies development is purposeful, appropriate, valid and relevant. According to the principle of coherence the process of development of school heads’ competencies consists of three phases: pre-service preparation for school leadership; training of newly appointed school heads; inservice training of school heads or professional development. Pre-service training relates to preparation for the generic role of principal, including the development of appropriate professional norms and the acquisition of relevant competencies. Training of newly appointed school heads refers to the induction of a newly appointed principal to the specific school context. This includes diagnosis of the issues facing the school and its community, becoming familiar with the strengths, limitations and needs of staff and pupils, and developing and communicating a specific vision for the school. In-service training or professional development is usually tied with certification requirements.According to the principle of continuity school leadership development is tailored to career path and involves stages form emergent leadership finishing with consultant leadership. The framework is valuable because it acknowledges the distributed nature of school leadership and shows the importance of lifelong learning for school heads. The focus group discussion was organized in order to find out, how the system of school heads competencies development should function under the conditions of systemic change. The qualitative content analysis of discussion data revealed the main principles of effectiveness. According to informants, it is important to conduct consistent analysis of needs for competencies development. The conception of school management should be created, which would provide a focus for the effective functioning of school leadership development system in Lithuania. The issues of financing, certification should be improved. The clear strategy of school heads as human resource should be created and implemented. [From the publication]
