NEW REPORT SHOWS CRUCIAL IMPACT OF PRINCIPALS ON STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT
NEW LEADERS FOR NEW SCHOOLS OFFERS NEW VISION FOR SCHOOL LEADERSHIP
Washington, DC (October 15, 2009) – A new report released today by New Leaders for New Schools calls for the entire education field – the federal government, states, local school systems, and philanthropic funders in particular – to fundamentally re-define effective school leadership and to align their policies to this new definition, especially to drive strategies for effective teaching and to support effective turnarounds of low-performing schools. The report, entitled PRINCIPAL EFFECTIVENESS: A New Principalship to Drive Student Achievement, Teacher Effectiveness, and School Turnarounds with Key Insights from the UEFTM, sets forth an evidence-based vision for principal effectiveness rooted in deep accountability for making student achievement gains and in developing quality teachers to meet that goal.
