Principals are critical to school success, but the demands on schools have proliferated, making the role increasingly complex. As a result, principals often struggle to make a significant impact on teaching and learning.
This executive briefing highlights four best practices for effective professional development for principals. It’s intended for district leaders and principal supervisors who want to gain quick understanding of the best ways to support their principals’ leadership success.
