How Principals Affect Students and Schools:A Systematic Synthesis of Two Decades of Research
This groundbreaking synthesis of research on school principals finds that effective principals have positive impacts on student achievement and attendance, as well as teacher satisfaction and retention.

Changing beliefs that form our perceptions is complicated!

“…in the current climate, it is easy to go overboard on instructional leadership… principals are being led down a narrow path of instructional leadership that will ultimately prove futile… 75 percent of principals find that the job has become too complex…we have taken instructional leadership too literally…”
Education Leaders

Key Findings
• Studies using new data and methods show that the importance of principals may not have been stated strongly enough in earlier work, given the magnitude and scope of principals’ impacts on students and schools.
• Evidence links four domains of principal behaviors to positive outcomes for students and schools—and they include but go beyond engagement with instruction.
• The principalship needs continued reorientation toward educational equity.
• Given the strength and scope of the impact of an effective principal, investing in successful strategies is likely to have a very large payoff.
• We need renewed attention to supporting a high-quality principal workforce.
• Foremost, our results on the importance of principals’ effects suggest the need for renewed attention to strategies for cultivating, selecting, preparing, and supporting a high-quality principal workforce.

Effective principals carry out four key behaviors, according to a major synthesis of research on school leadership… It is essential, too, that these practices be conducted through an equity lens.

Research
The updated synthesis draws on 219 high-quality research studies about school leadership published in the 20 years since 2000.
Among the studies are six, all published since 2012, that examine principal impact by taking advantage of school and principal longitudinal data unavailable 20 years ago.
It was through their analysis of these studies that the authors reached their conclusions about principal effects on student achievement.

Power of Data
“Teachers feel empowered by having access to timely data on their students, something principals can influence as they create the circumstances for teachers to engage in data-driven instruction.”
-Brown 2015; Koyama 2014
![Page 38: Rethinking Leadership Behaviors - NAESP](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042522/626240e37e906c0ef52d6e15/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
• Share findings with the staff and community when applicable.
• Use the information to develop a plan and to determine the next steps. This will guide your future work and decision making.
• An Activity: Think big—“What is your headline”. What will be our headline after the first term into the new school year? What will be your headline at the end of this school year?
• What professional development opportunities can you plan and schedule for your staff for the upcoming year? What staff coaching opportunities does the data encourage? How can you utilize classroom supports and create staff schedules based on the findings?

Time Management“The key is not to prioritize what is on your schedule but to schedule your priorities.”
-Stephen Covey
![Page 40: Rethinking Leadership Behaviors - NAESP](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042522/626240e37e906c0ef52d6e15/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Staff Time“Beyond managing your own time, principals can harness the school’s schedule to pursue goals. To facilitate teacher collaboration principals can schedule common planning or protect teacher time for team meetings. “
-The Wallace Report
• Elementary schools in which grade level teams were allotted common planning time saw higher achievement growth, particularly in reading. -Wallace
• Having math in the first two periods of the day instead of the last increases math GPAs of students.
• Danish students had a 20-30 minute break to eat, play and chat before a test their scores did not decline but increased.
• Meetings: certificated, classified and combo leadership meetings are critical to the work. Review the agenda and make sure a meeting is required rather than an email.
