Summary/Abstract: Objectives. Standards and requirements on educational leader´s competencies in the Slovak Republic do not fully use the potential of psychological know-how of leadership competency models. One of the aims of the APVV project no. 17-0557 ("Psychological approach to development, implementation and evaluation of the competence model of educational leaders´ development”) is to create a competency model for educational leaders that would be theoretically grounded and research-based. The paper presents the results of the introductory evaluation of specified international competency models for leaders in the educational setting. Method. The method of the Frame Analysis by Ritchie & Spencer (1994) using CAQDAS and multiple evaluations, was applied to selected U.S. educational leadership standards dated 2002 to 2017. Results. The results show differences in metalanguage used and the structure of the models, as well as quite wide range of competencies included in the approaches to school and educational leadership standards/models. Conclusions. The findings are discussed in the perspective of evaluating the conceptualization and development of educational leadership standards within the U.S. context. Limitations. Narrowing the focus on the North American context as other studies (eg European) will follow.
