Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Effective principals set high expectations for instruction and student learning and create conditions in their schools that promote robust levels of instructional improvement and student achievement (Bryk et al., 2010; Robinson et al., 2008). The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) provides principals with greater autonomy in several areas including providing feedback to teachers and using data to inform decision-making. But there are gaps in the research literature on how principals’ leadership behaviors contribute to student learning; as well as teacher job satisfaction, commitment, and retention. In response, this symposium bring together four empirical papers that examine how principals’ leadership behaviors are associated with student and teacher outcomes as well as their time use.
