Key steps districts can take• Clearly define standards for principals
• Define accountability and leader evaluation measures and give principals the authority and support to achieve them
– Use leader evaluation to focus more attention on their role on improving instruction
• Place and retain effective principals in the highest needs schools
• Provide timely, relevant data to enable principals to accurately diagnose and address students’ learning needs
• Provide time for principals to focus on instruction
• Design and implement a pipeline to develop, train, place and support effective principals for all schools
