What outdated state policies and data gaps mean for effective school leadership
Significant focus has been paid to the impact effective teachers have on student success. Less attention has been given to the role of the school leader.
Well-trained, supported, effective principals recruit and retain the best teachers, enable the success of their students, and set a positive school culture.
WORKING WITH DISTRICTS
The School Leadership Initiative dramatically improves the way school districts find, support, and retain highly effective principals.
Through 2020, the Bush Institute will implement our Principal Talent Management Framework and other tools in four school districts: Austin Independent School District (Austin, TX), Fort Worth Independent School District (Fort Worth, TX), Chesterfield County Public Schools (Chesterfield, VA), and Granite School District (Salt Lake City, UT).
