Résumé
Cet article propose un cadre de référence permettant à des décideurs de centres de services scolaires de se doter d’un ensemble intégré de politiques et de pratiques de gestion pouvant influencer la rétention des directions d’établissement. Ce cadre les invite ainsi à envisager la rétention des directions suivant une perspective de développement professionnel durable. Il s’appuie sur une recension des écrits pour identifier un ensemble de leviers tels que la planification stratégique, l’insertion professionnelle, la formation, et l’encadrement par le supérieur hiérarchique, un réseau d’échange et d’entraide, de même que des outils numériques pouvant contribuer à la prise de décision, le monitorage et le suivi.

Abstract
This article presents a frame of reference allowing school organization leaders to adopt an integrated and coherent set of policies and strategies likely to intervene in the phenomenon of retention of school principals.

It is based on a review of literature which proposes a set of levers covering different areas relating to human resources management such as strategic planning, professional integration, training, supervision, exchange and mutual help networks and a two-way administrative and instructional digital information system.
