School Leadership
Equipping school districts to find, support, and retain highly effective principals.
Principals account for 25% of a school’s total impact on student achievement. The Bush Institute education experts provide the framework for school districts to adopt to ensure quality principals are at the helm of their schools.
Each year, more than 20% of current principals retire, leave their schools, or leave the profession, requiring districts to find new principals –often without the right kind of pipelines or plans in place.
Today’s principal workforce is less experienced, more mobile, works more hours, and experiences more job stress. New principals often report that they are underprepared for the complexity of their jobs.
Well-trained, supported, and effective principals should:
- Recruit and retain the best teachers
- Enable the success of their students
- Set a positive school culture
