Principal Leadership - Principal Leadership

In the 2004 study How Leadership Influences Student Learning, the authors conclude that when it comes to increased student learning, the contribution of leadership is second in impact only to classroom instruction. And effective leadership has the greatest impact where it is needed most—in the nation’s underserved schools. These facts make the case not only for improving the recruitment and training of school principals but also for improving their ongoing development and evaluation. Below you will find resources that focus on this important issue and that we hope can help inform the improvement efforts at your school or district.
