Do principals matter to school improvement and student success? The answer is a resounding yes! One of the most reliable factors associated with world-class schools is sustained, insightful, highly capable leadership—in essence, world-class leaders. Highly effective principals and other school leaders are the key that unlocks school improvement and success. Moreover, among school-based factors, the impact of principals is second only to that of teachers in facilitating student learning.
