Περίληψη: Policymakers often treat the growing array of school challenges separately, developing different strategies for each; however, this fragmented approach overlooks the central role principals play in influencing all teacher and student outcomes. Research has found that strengthening school leadership is a key strategy for school improvement--one with strong equity implications. Principals affect teacher and student outcomes by (1) supporting effective instruction; (2) retaining teachers, thus strengthening school stability and expertise; and (3) creating a positive climate that welcomes and connects staff, students, and families. Their ability to retain teachers and boost student achievement is influenced by high-quality preservice preparation and in-service professional development focused on supporting instruction, developing staff, meeting the needs of diverse learners, and managing change. Policymakers can strengthen principal effectiveness by investing in high-quality professional learning; building pipelines for recruiting, preparing, and developing principals; improving principals' working and learning conditions; ensuring adequate compensation; and creating productive evaluation and mentoring systems.
