The Center for American Progress recently offered a report that analyzes state policies and requirements for principal preparation, approval, and certification. The report used a sample of 16 states - eight of which are deemed “lagging” and eight deemed “leading” in their efforts to ensure that schools are led by effective leaders.
The Center noted that research shows that principals account for a quarter of a school’s total impact on student learning. But this finding understates the full impact principals have because they play an essential role in hiring and developing teachers who account for the largest share of a school’s impact on student learning.
