Session Type: Symposium
Principals are critical to improving student achievement and narrowing persistent achievement gaps (Grissom et al., 2015; Leithwood et al., 2004). Despite the opportunities to develop and support principals under the Every Student Succeeds Act, investing in principals is one of the most overlooked courses of action for raising student achievement. This symposium brings together findings from three research projects that expand the understanding of high-quality principal learning with practitioners’ experiences providing strong principal development programs. The symposium will identify the policies, practices, and norms that support principal development programs that are associated with positive school outcomes and explore principals’ access to high-quality preparation and development experiences.
