This paper describes the development and validation of scale to measure potentiality toward becoming a great educational leader. It employed a quantitative study that used Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) in developing a scale to measure the potentiality of school heads toward becoming great educational leaders. It allows researchers to assess how well their measurement hypotheses match the data collected by respondents. Seven out of the 13 original factors and 20 out of the 56 initial set of items made the final cut after undergoing Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) using responses to the scale administered to 595 public school heads in Region III in the Philippines. The Influence of Teachers (IT) factor edged all others by registering the highest Average Variance Extracted (AVE) at .677 and topmost composite reliability at .861. Data analysis resulted in the hypothesized hierarchical model transfiguring into two oblique models with the latter being adjudged as the best and preferred among the three competing models; albeit the goodness of fit is not acceptable statistically (p-value of Chi-square is less than .05), all the fit indices (e.g. RMSEA, SRMR, NFI, GFI, ECVI) are within the acceptable range. Implications for school management and leadership are discussed amid the plethora of concepts that abound in literature.
