teachersrsquo evaluations For principals themove is being prompted by US Departmento Education grant programs such as Race tothe Top which requires states or districts totie principal eectiveness ldquoin signicant partrdquoto growth in student achievement and by No

Child Let Behind waivers which allow statesfexibility on some requirements o the ederallaw in exchange or adopting certain policiesincluding revamped educator-evaluation pro-cedures

Test scores are generally one o severalmeasures o student achievement used innew principal evaluations which also look atschool climate surveys and improvements inteachersrsquo eectiveness among other gauges

ldquoTherersquos this collective realization that itrsquosmore complex than just a single test scorerdquosaid Dick Flanary the deputy executive direc-tor o programs and services at the National

Association o Secondary School Principals a

proessional group based in Reston Va Butboth the NASSP and the Alexandria Va-based National Association o ElementarySchool Principals which released recom-mendations about principal evaluations lastall say that making 40 percent or more o aprincipalrsquos evaluation dependent on student-achievement measures is inappropriate eveni that chunk o the review relies on morethan just state test scores

Meanwhile researchers and district leadershope the new systems will help clariy needsand expectations or school leaders

ldquoWe know that teachers have the biggest

impact on outcomes or childrenmdashand rightbehind that is the principalrdquo said JeannineFrench the deputy superintendent o the25000-student Pittsburgh district which isalso revamping its evaluation system to in-clude student growth ldquoItrsquos not just an evalua-tion tool Itrsquos about making sure principalshave the inormation they need about practiceso they can very specically improve so we getbetter results or our childrenrdquo

Though there is less research on principalevaluations than on teacher evaluations thechanges represent a step in the right direc-tion said Matthew Cliord a senior researchscientist at the American Institutes or Re-

search in Washington who is working onevaluation guidelines or districts in Illinoisand Maine ldquoMany places have systems orevaluating principals that are not system-atic and arenrsquot tied to standards right nowoten based on reputation and on anecdotalevidence Now wersquore building an evaluationsystem thatrsquos more systematicrdquo

H nd H

Thirty-our states have passed laws involv-ing principal evaluation in the past ve yearsand 22 will be implementing new systems

within the next two years said Mr CliordNone o the relevant ederal Education De-partment programs species what percentageo a school leaderrsquos evaluation needs to be tiedto test scores and states dier in how they dothat he said

In Florida or instance where evaluationswere initially tied mainly to state standard-ized tests the system was adjusted to actorin nontested subjects such as reading andmathematics said Mr Cliord Some statesincluding Washington and Minnesota requirestudent achievement to count or 35 percentwhile in Louisiana and Colorado itrsquos 50 per-cent The national principalsrsquo associations callor student growth to account or between 25percent and 35 percent o a principalrsquos evalu-ation which they say more closely relectshow much a principal can actually aect testscores

The remainder o principalsrsquo evaluations

generally deal with measures o practice andbehavior ldquoThe percent thing is more politi-cally based than research-basedrdquo said P FredStorti the executive director o the MinnesotaElementary School Principalsrsquo AssociationTest scores are an important part o the prin-cipalrsquos role he said ldquobut therersquos a lot you canrsquotboil down to a test scorerdquo

Sti Expeienting

Though the changes to evaluations are pick-ing up speed states have generally dedicatedless time to working out and implement-

ing principal evaluations than they have toteacher evaluations said Benjamin Fentonthe co-ounder o New Leaders a New York-based nonprot ocused on school leadershipldquoI think thatrsquos going to be a place o biggerocusrdquo he said As a rule ldquostates and districts are looking

at student outcomes to be a heavier weightor a larger ocial weight in evaluationsrdquo MrFenton said

Even so principalsrsquo evaluations have stirredless controversy than teachersrsquo perhaps be-cause principals are ewer in numbermdashna-tionwide there are about 95000 principalsas compared with 35 million teachersmdashand

mostly not unionized Mr Cliord saidPrincipals are also used to being held ac-

countable or the perormance o their schoolssaid John Youngquist the director o princi-pal talent development in the 84000-studentDenver district which plans to tie studenttest scores to evaluations starting next yearldquoItrsquos empowering to principal managers andprincipals when therersquos an agreed-upon set o understandingsrdquo

In Dallas where student achievement will

now account or 40 percent o school leadersevaluations Superintendent Michael Milessaid the new evaluations mirror district priorities ldquoWe value student-achievement resultswe value high-quality instruction we valueparental engagement we value positive andsupportive school culturesrdquo he said

The evaluation system there goes hand in

hand with new principal-recruitment andproessional-development programs Mr Milessaid and with more support and training orevaluators Each evaluator is now responsibleor ewer principalsmdash10 to 12mdashin hopes thatthe appraisals will be more in-depth and accurate

The superintendent said that while Dallasinitially planned to have a system based halon student achievement and hal on principapractice eedback rom principals led him toshit the balance toward practice Mr Milessaid that a survey o the districtrsquos principalsshowed them evenly split among those who

approved o disapproved o and were neutratoward the new system ldquoWhenever you havemore-rigorous evaluation systems therersquosgoing to be some anxietyrdquo he said But ldquoI thinkthat most are at least willing to give it a tryrdquo

In Hawaii as in Chicago and Los Ange-les student achievement accounts or halo principalsrsquo evaluations said Ronn Nozoethe deputy superintendent o Hawaiirsquos education department which is the single statewide district responsible or 180000 studentsThe student-achievement component will bebased partly on schoolwide median growth onthe state test and partly on a measure chosen rom a list that includes ACT scores and

graduation ratesMr Nozoe said that developing the sys

tem had been a collaborative eort with thestate principalsrsquo union and Hawaii is also o-cused on providing proessional developmentaligned with the new requirements ldquoSupporting principals to support their teachersand support their students is by ar the mostimportant work we can dordquo Mr Nozoe said

Principals Lack Training in ShapingSchool Climate

B S d Sps

I mproving a struggling schoolrsquos climatecan be both the oundation o long-termschool improvement and a source o im-

mediate visible progress or a new prin-cipal The tricky part or many principalsexperts say is translating an idyllic visioninto classroom reality

Thatrsquos why groups preparing so-calledldquoturnaround leadersrdquo increasingly say prin-cipals need more trainingmdashnot just on dataand academicsmdashbut also on how to build re-lationships and support or learning amongsta and students

ldquoWe have ound the training on cultureand climate inadequate in most placesrdquosaid Bob Hughes the executive director o the Washington-based National Institute o

School Leadership ldquoUniversities are tryingto respond and change now That is begin-ning to happen but not ast enoughrdquo According to an analysis released last

month by the Dallas-based George W BushInstitute 43 states include ldquodeveloping apositive school culturerdquo in their standardsor principals but a majority o states do nottrack what training on culture new leadersreceive beore going into a school

Clyde A Cole the executive director o content and curriculum or New Leadersa nonproit based in New York City saidunderstanding school climate and cultureis a critical part o its Aspiring Principals

program The group trains leaders to turnaround struggling high-poverty urbanschools A principal under pressure to improve

test scores is more likely to ocus on class-room content and instruction than to gaugewhether students eel respected or teacherscollaborate well Mr Cole said partly be-cause academic actors are easier to assess

lsquoCnseqencersquo ledeship

Because school climate can be more di-cult than academics to quantiy Mr Hughes

said most principal training ocuses on ldquoab-stracts and symptomsrdquo

ldquoGraduation rates are low so letrsquos build aprogram to address graduation Wersquove gotteacher absenteeism letrsquos put money orthat Well o course graduation rates areimportant teacher absenteeism is impor-tant but thatrsquos a symptomrdquo Mr Hughessaid

ldquoWe really want to be imbuing principals

with lsquoconsequencersquo leadershipmdashlooking atthe outcomes and the behaviors that got youthere not just always at the symptomsrdquo hesaid

There is more research on best practicesor evaluating and improving school climatebut ldquothe emphasis on a positive develop-mentally appropriate learning culture orstudents has gotten a lot less attention inrecent years with the ocus on accountabil-ityrdquo said Margaret Terry Orr the director o the Future School Leader Academy at BankStreet College o Education in New YorkCity

In principal-training programs Ms Orrsaid ldquoyou see more and more emphasisaround student perormance and how toread available test and achievement datardquo Yet principals who learn to attend to cul-

ture seem better at academic leadershiptoo according to some research

In a 2007 study o principal education pro-grams Ms Orr ound that principals whohad attended ldquoexemplaryrdquo training pro-gramsmdashthose with comprehensive curriculaaccompanied by intensive in-school intern-ships and supportmdashreported more improve-ment in the year o the study as well as astronger ldquocontinuous-improvement climaterdquo

and academic ocus as compared with prin-cipals in other training programs

Suzanne E Scallion the superintendent o the 6000-student Westeld school district inMassachusetts has ound similar results inher own studies o how principals addressschool climate

She ound that leaders who have beentrained to understand how relationshipsand values interact in a school can improvetheir campus cultures and that those with-out such a conceptual understanding stillhave an ldquoaccidental infuencerdquo on their cam-pusesmdashnot always a healthy one

David Levin a co-ounder o the Knowledge Is Power Program or KIPP said thenational charter school network developedits in-house principal training to be a hybrido education and business leadership

Traditional principal-preparation programs he said oten give a strong academicgrounding but provide less ocus on theskills and strategies or creating a workplace culture which are more commonly

ound in management training or otheindustries

Many ldquoturnaroundrdquo principals come totheir schools with a clear vision o whaa good school climate should be but stilhave diculty getting sta and students onboard said Mr Cole o New Leaders

ldquoI you have people who are Type A andsuccessul and not necessarily patient withother people they think they need to just goin and do everything themselvesrdquo Mr Colesaid ldquoThe worse the culture and climate arethe less they use those interpersonal tacticto engage a variety o people when in ac

they need to do moreldquoFor a lot o principals thatrsquos where theyall downrdquo

One o New Leadersrsquo recent graduates Rachel J Neill the principal at Quail HollowMiddle School in Charlotte NC agreed

ldquoIt can be tricky when yoursquore a rst-yeaprincipal because there are all these archetypes o what a good principal should beThere can be this pressure to be the expertand have all the answersrdquo Ms Neill saidldquoTraining helped me to be comortable innot having all the answersrdquo

resns vs assptins

The New York Leadership Academy another nonprot that recruits develops andsupports principals dedicates one week oits six-week summer training institute tohelping would-be principals understandthe actors that contribute to positive schooculture and conront their own biases saidKathleen Nadurak the academyrsquos executive

vice president o programsThe participants practice ldquolow-inerence

observationsrdquomdashidentiying relationshipand actions at a school and then seekingreasons or them rather than making as





sumptionsFor example aspiring principals may

conront a scenario in which teachersgather in their lounge in the morningrather than greeting incoming students

ldquoYour interpretation is theyrsquore lazy

theyrsquore waiting until the last minutemdashandall yoursquore really seeing is the teachers arenot at the doorrdquo Ms Nadurak said

ldquoIt comes rom a very good motive [prin-cipals] eel urgency about changing thingsor kidsrdquo she said ldquoI respect that but itrsquosnot going to help get things donemdashpar-ticularly i people think they are alreadydoing exactly what you asked them to dordquo

Itrsquos also easy or good intentions to goawry in a school without trust Last yearin her rst as principal at Quail HollowMs Neill held individual and group meet-ings with teachers to identiy what theythought was working at their school and

what needed to be changedShe then instituted a quarterly anon-

ymous online survey or teachers toweigh in on how things were progressingthroughout the year Ater the rst survey Ms Neill said a teacher protestedarguing that even though the survey wasanonymous submissions could be tracedto individual computers and used in u-ture teacher evaluations

ldquoI genuinely just wanted to get eed-backrdquo Ms Neill said ldquoOn one hand I hadto have that conversation and say lsquoI reallyhope you trust mersquo

ldquoOn the other hand I had to prove thatin my actions taking the survey data backto the teachers and saying lsquoHerersquos whatwe ound here are the changes wersquoremaking based on the eedbackrsquo hellip and orpeople to see that it didnrsquot show up in any-onersquos evaluationrdquo

In Westield Ms Scallion has startedschool culture training or all assistantprincipals on track to become school lead-ers She meets with them monthly to re-

view school data such as student-behaviorincidents and climate surveys and look at

various case studiesldquoI look at them as my talent pool or u-

ture principals Eective principals are in-tentional consciously trying to infuenceschool climaterdquo Ms Scallion said ldquoWe ig-nore it at our peril and our studentsrsquo perilbecause students need to be in an environ-ment where they not only eel physicallysae but eel emotionally supported andsuccessulrdquo

Through coaching and mentorship ini-tiatives residencies and internships andother new programs both districts and uni-

Traditional principal-training programsldquohavenrsquot been as connected to the realitieso the proession as they need to berdquo saidDick Flanary the deputy executive directoro programs and services or the National

Association o Secondary School Principalsbased in Alexandria Va ldquoUniversities talkabout preparation and school districts talkabout readinessrdquo

Leadership-training programs in Phila-delphia Chicago Prince Georgersquos CountyMd Gwinnett County Ga Denver New

The collaboration with the 141000-studentCharlotte-Mecklenburg system which now re-ceives unding rom the Wallace Foundation was

begun in 2004 when Mr Mitchell and anotherormer school administrator arrived at the university and set a goal o building a relationshipbetween the district and the university

n the 2010-11 school year more than 500charter schools opened across the coun-try each one in need o a leader who had

a grasp o the education- and personnel-management skills needed to run a schoolas well as a solid underpinning in other areassuch as nonprot management budgetingand strategic planning

That rate o growth is not expected to abateany time soon the National Alliance or Pub-lic Charter Schools says From 2005-06 to2010-11 the number o charter schools grewby nearly 41 percent rom 3999 to 5627 And nearly a hal million students are oncharter school waiting lists according to sta-tistics rom the Washington-based alliance

With the need or charter administrators in

mind the sector is developing its own leader-ship-training programs many o which areas diverse as the in dependently operatedpublic schools themselves But questionsremain about whether those entrepreneur-ial programs are growing quickly enough tomeet the demand or charter school leadersand whether the programs are turning outleaders o high quality

The University o Washington BothellrsquosCenter or Reinventing Public Education sur-

veyed the charter school leadership marketin a 2008 report It ound that several largenetworks such as the San Francisco-based

Knowledge Is Power Program or KIPP andEdisonLearning based in New York Cityhave their own programs to train leaders intheir organizationsrsquo cultures

Programs such as New Leaders also inNew York City and the Boston-based Build-ing Excellent Schools prepare their studentsto assume charter leadership in stand-alonecharter schools or those within a networkrather than eeding into a leadership pipe-line to a particular charter-management or-ganization

Some programs ocus on training charterschool leaders to work in particular states

A ew have a specialized ocus such as theChie Business Ocerrsquos Training Programwhich is run by the Charter Schools Devel-opment Center in Sacramento Cali Thatprogram trains leaders to run the businessside o Caliornia charter schools

But those programs are turning out onlya total o about 400 or 500 leaders a yearwhich is barely enough to keep up with newschool growth and leadership turnover said

Christine Campbell a senior research ana-lyst or the University o Washington centerand the lead author o the 2008 report

ldquoWe know that the demand is outstrippingthe supplyrdquo she said

The charter-leadership programs gener-ally get high marks rom their participantswhich is an ldquoimportant startrdquo in measuringtheir quality the report notes However onlya ew o those that the center examined linktheir eectiveness to leadersrsquo success in theeld or mention other measures o programaccountability

One program Get Smart Schools in Den- ver has trained 23 people since its creationin 2008 20 are now in leadership positionsin Colorado charter schools Six recruits aretraining in the current cohort Amy Slothower the programrsquos executive di-

rector said that Get Smart ldquohas not reachedthe scale wersquod like to reachrdquo but that part o its slow expansion is caused by intensive can-didate screening

The program does not charge its ellowsto participate in the yearlong program MsSlothower said in contrast to most tradi-tional training programs

ldquoWe eel that i we can continue to notcharge tuition we can be honest and selec-tive with our admissions programrdquo she saidPrivate grants pay or the leadership train-ing

Wide Ski Set

Another reason training programs remainrelatively small is simply the sheer variety o topics that must be covered to create a well-trained charter school leader Andrew Collins the director o school de-

velopment or the Arizona Charter Schools

Association in Phoenix is helping to createa six-month ellowship that will train princi-pals to start their own schools in low-incomecommunities in that state Mr Collins saidthat ellows in that program will learn whatitrsquos like ldquoto orm a nonprot business at thesame time yoursquore the instructional leader oa schoolrdquo

Fellows will also be steeped in budget and

nance issues Mr Collins said traditionalprincipal-training curriculums may not needto ocus as heavily in that area because mostsuch matters are handled by a district cen-tral oce but at a charter school principalsand ounders ldquoare the [chie executive ocer]and [chie nancial ocer] all together atleast in the rst ew yearsrdquo

The new Arizona program will also put aheavy emphasis on learning rom other lead-ers a common theme among charter schoolleadership programs according to the CRPEreport

When the ellows are done with the six-

month course o study theyrsquore expected totranser into the associationrsquos 18-monthCharter Starter program which aims to haveleaders opening new schools by August 2014

Some groups are proud o the dierencesthey perceive between their models and tra-ditional leadership training

Linda Brown the ounder and chie ex-ecutive ocer o Building Excellent Schoolswhich has trained leaders now working in 20cities said her program provides a $90000stipend to its ellows rather than askingthem to pay tuition In return she said it

Like Hartord districts around the country are shiting re-sponsibilities that once rested at the central oce to princi-

The Center or Reinventing Public Education based atthe University o Washington Bothell has long tracked theprogress o portolio districts It counts 26 school systems asmembers o its ldquoportolio district networkrdquo including New

ldquoWe were refecting on what is the bestway to share the lessons wersquore learningrdquoMs White said ldquoSo we decided to do a co-hort model based on how we train our lead-ersrdquo The hope is that the participants willtake what theyrsquove learned back to their owncommunities and expand their local leader-training capacity she said

Ms Campbell with the Center or Re-inventing Public Education believes thatcharter school leadership programs willalways remain relatively small comparedwith the thousands o university-basedprincipal programs across the countryHowever principals in district-run schools

are increasingly nding themselves in needo the skills in which charter leaders aretrained

ldquoI hope that what wersquoll see is that tra-ditional preparation programs adjust tobecome like charter school leadership pro-gramsrdquo she said

hood boundaries he saidBut this change though easy to describe isnot always easy to implement he addedmdashinpart because o concerns rom central-oceadministrators about loosening the reins o power

ldquoDistrict people are always worried thattheir school people are not ready or the re-sponsibilityrdquo Mr Hill said

Giving up Cnt

One o the rst steps or central-oce ad-ministrators according to Eric Nadelsterna ormer deputy chancellor in the New York

City school system is to get past the ideathat they have that much control in the rstplace They donrsquot he argues

ldquoYou can have programs and say wersquoregoing to implement them across the districtin all the schools and make sure that ev-eryone is capable o doing the same thingat the same time on the same topicrdquo MrNadelstern said in an interview He is cur-rently a proessor o educational leadershipat Teachers College Columbia University

ldquoThat is the prevalent modus operandi o most district superintendents and you cando that and get a short-term gain on 4th

grade reading scores but there is never anylasting impact at the 8th grade level or inhigh school graduation ratesrdquo he continuedldquoWhen a teacher closes the door in the morn-ing they do whatever the hell it is they thinkneeds to be donerdquo

Mr Nadelstern recently wrote a paper orthe University o Washington center on howNew York created networks o autonomousschools He said rather than ght the het-erogeneous practices taking place behindclosed doors at schools central-oce admin-istrators should embrace them ldquoThe peopleclosest to the kids in the classroommdashtheprincipal the teachers in consultation with

parentsmdashare the best people to make deci-sionsrdquo he said

New York with 1 million students and1700 schools manages its diverse portolioo schools by setting up networks o schoolslinked by similar educational philosophiesbut not necessarily geography The networksprovide some central-management activitiesand are compared yearly or perormanceand principal satisaction Schools are ree toswitch networks yearly as they choose

Mr Nadelstern said New York started smallldquoYou canrsquot go in there and say to everyonewersquore going to change and expect them not

to ght against that What you need to do isto create something entirely new and protectit rom the old while yoursquore nurturing itrdquo headded

Gwth Netwk

New York started with an ldquoautonomy zonerdquoo 26 district-run and three charter schoolswhich Mr Nadelstern oversaw The zoneeventually grew to 48 schools and the initia-tive was then rebranded as EmpowermentSchools and open to any principal who choseto participate

ldquoThe thing yoursquore nurturing eventually re-places the entire systemrdquo he said

Not every district chooses to transormitsel the way New York did Alyssa White-head-Bust the chie o innovation and re-orm or the 82000-student Denver schooldistrict said she believes the changes at the

central oce need to happen at the sametime that a district is giving more autonomyto its schools

ldquoAt a minimum you have to have sup-port at the superintendent level along withsome other top leadersrdquo she said Her oceoversees perormance management or thedistrictrsquos charter schools and ldquoinnovationschoolsrdquo a state designation growing inpopularity that gives some regular schoolscontrol over parts o their budget hiring andcurriculum as well as reedom rom someunion rules

Ms Whitehead-Bust said that her position

and that o her team can be described nowas ldquocoachingrdquo and itrsquos not always an easyshit

ldquoItrsquos a value or us not to get caught up inone school type as being preerable to an-otherrdquo she said ldquoWe try to ocus not on thedierences between these schools but thesimilar goalsrdquo School ocials also try to bor-row good ideas rom the innovation or char-ter schools or example seven district-runschools will be piloting an extended schoolday and year in the coming school year asis done in some Denver charter and innova-tion schools

James Meza Jr appointed in July 2011

to be the interim superintendent or the45000-student Jeerson Parish La districthas also worked ast rolling out changes likeprincipal-leadership programs and more au-tonomy or school leaders while eliminating200 central-oce positions and working tostreamline central-oce operations

ldquoWe have 7000 employees and 3500 o them are not in schoolsrdquo Mr Meza saidldquoMost o them could go away tomorrow andnot much would changerdquo As an example o central-oce streamlin-

ing he said that the district is eliminatingcentral-oce-based compliance ocers or

the spending o ederal Title I unds targetedto economically disadvantaged studentsand shiting the monitoring task to schoolsState permission was required to make thatchange he said

mving n mnitingThe district also removed 15 principals and

could have removed more Mr Meza said buound that it didnrsquot have a deep pool o bet-ter candidates waiting in the wings Thatprompted the creation o a new oce thatwill be in charge o leadership training

ldquoThe skill set or these principals is verydierent Wersquore not going to be at the central oce telling them what to dordquo said MrMeza who prior to his appointment was thedean at the University o New Orleansrsquo college o education

The shit to a portolio process is not with

out criticsKenneth J Saltman a proessor o educa

tional policy studies and research at DePauUniversity in Chicago wrote a 2010 papersaying that such eorts oer instability withno reliable empirical evidence o success

ldquoThe portolio district approach looks likea recipe or high risk and no clear rewardhe writes

Mr Hill agrees that the evidence in avoro portolio approaches ldquois ar rom a slamdunkrdquo But he added itrsquos implausible tothink that a central-oice administrationcan meet the needs o a diverse district using

a traditional structure ldquoYou have to ask ithis one solution ts all the problemsrdquo hesaid

Choose principal candidates selectivelyoer strong coursework that ap-plies theory directly to practice andprovide high quality mentoring and

proessional development These are the keys toimproving the ranks o school principals accord-ing to the New York-based Wallace Foundation

The oundation recently released a report thatboils down a decade o research and lessons

learned in the eld The report notes that whilemost states have adopted leadership standardsand there is more diversity among providers o principal training most university-based train-ing programs have ailed to keep pace with theevolving role o principals

From the report

Among the common faws critics citecurricula that ail to take into account theneeds o districts and diverse student bod-ies weak connections between theory andpractice aculty with little or no experi-ence as school leaders and internshipsthat are poorly designed and insucientlyconnected to the rest o the curriculumand lack opportunities to experience realleadership

An especially provocative 2005critique by ormer Columbia UniversityTeachers College President Arthur Levineound that admissions criteria at the ma-

jority o university-based leadership pro-grams ldquohave nothing to do with a potentialstudentrsquos ability to be successul as aprincipalrdquo All too commonly Levine wrotethese programs ldquohave turned out to belittle more than graduate credit dispens-ers They award the equivalent o greenstamps which can be traded in or raisesand promotions to teachers who have nointention o becoming administratorsrdquo

The report outlines ve steps that districtssuperintendents and training programs canundertake to bee up the ranks o well-trainedschool leaders Starting with a more ldquoprobingrdquoprocess o evaluating potential candidates is onestep in the process as is providing strong sup-port to new principals (The Wallace Foundationprovides grant support to Education Week tocover leadership issues)

I trsquos time to dispel the perception thatschool principals have all the skillsand capacity they need to be success-ul leaders as soon as they leave prin-

cipal-preparation programs

Consider indings rom the latestMetLie Survey o the American Teachera work that always seems to get to theheart o educationrsquos biggest questionsResponses to the recently released 29thannual survey oer interestingmdashand trou-blingmdashinsights into school leadership

Among the surveyrsquos startling find-ings

n ldquoThree-quarters o all principals say the job has become too complex and nearlyhal report eeling under great stress

several times a week or morerdquo

n ldquoTeacher satisaction has declined 23 per-centage points since 2008rdquo to its lowestlevel in 25 years in 2012 (dropping rom62 percent to 39 percent) We acknowl-edge however that some have raisedquestions about the interpretation andquality o the ndings on this point

n ldquoLess-satisied teachersrdquo are morelikely to be located in schools whereproessional development and time orteacher collaboration have declined (21percent vs 14 percent)

n ldquoMore principals nd it challenging tomaintain an adequate supply o eec-tive teachers in urban schools and inschoolsrdquo where two-thirds or more o the students come rom low-incomehouseholds (60 percent vs 43 percentin suburban schools and 44 percent inrural schools)

Clearly principals and teachers ace nu-merous challenges In large part becauseo the actors cited above teachers andprincipals in the United States leave their

positions in the irst ive years at highrates Itrsquos clear the nation must nd a wayto support these overstressed leaders andincreasingly less-satised teachers especially in our high-poverty areas We can doso by developing the leadership competencies o current principals uture principalsand teacher-leaders

The MetLie survey cites the stress thatprincipals identiy when they donrsquot havethe capacity to lead especially in schoolswhere student achievement is low andpoverty is high The surveyrsquos authors sayit ldquounderscores the act that teachers todayplay a key part in the leadership o theirschools Hal o teachers play some unction in ormal leadershiprdquo whether asmentors or leadership-team members

The need or better leadership preparation is clear Beore they are asked to takeon prospective executive leadership rolesnew principals and teacher-leaders should

be well grounded in the skills needed tomanage adultsOpportunities or ellowships and con

tinuous proessional development asteacher-leaders would augment the baseknowledge and abilities o school leadersbeore they change their roles And oncethey land in leadership positions principals need continuous collaborative supporand development

It takes a leadership team composed oa school principal and teachers leading in

varied capacities to get to greater studensuccess I we are serious about increasingstudent achievement we need to act now

to retain the good to great teachers andleaders The New Teacher Projectrsquos recentreport ldquoThe Irreplaceablesrdquo clariies thawe are oten not only losing the best newteachers but that those who stay do so withthe strongest and most eective principalsThis team o eective leaders and principals helps students gain an additional veto six months o student learning each yearaccording to the TNTP report

And it must be anchored in research thatocuses on greater leadership capacity

n Provide multiple structured career path-ways or educators With ormal appro-priately compensated middle-leader roles

available aspiring school leaders may nda more intentional longer-term approachto the principalship more attractive Re-search indicates that by developing theleadership skills o teachers they will notonly remain in the classroom but will alsoexpect to take on new responsibilities andexpand their infuence The key to retain-ing the most eective o our educators liesin developing their skills or success

n Oer outstanding ellowship and train-ing experiences to teachers who will notonly become tomorrowrsquos principals but

whomdashright nowmdashcan move the needleon student achievement and add to theleadership capacity o their schools help-ing each schoolrsquos instructional communityto improve In so doing we will build anetwork o midlevel teacher-leaders whohave the wherewithal to best supporttheir new colleagues while limiting theattrition o our most promising educators

Published April 13 2012 in Education Week

A teacher o our acquaintanceonce remarked that ldquothe daily-ness o teachingrdquo overwhelmedall calm refection Only in stray

moments or middle-o-the-night worry ses-sions could he ponder the big questions o whether he was helping all o his studentsand whether he needed to deepen his con-tent knowledge or improve his lesson plan-ning

This phrase ldquothe daily-ness o teachingrdquowould probably resonate with many teach-ers who canrsquot help but be caught up in theendless work o planning lessons grading

papers building relationships with stu-dents communicating with parents andthe other myriad responsibilities they have

In act teachers have so much to thinkabout that even when they have opportu-nities to work with their colleagues theyoten question whether collaboration is re-ally worth it when they have so much to do

To help teachers step back and thinkdeeply about their instruction and how toimprove it is a tough job but itrsquos the job weneed principals and other school leaders todo i schools are going to educate all stu-dents well

That at least is what we concluded ater

conducting a study o 33 principals who led24 successul schools The study includedschools o all levels with 65 percent beingelementary in every part o the countrywith a range in student population rom200 to nearly 2000 These schools are notexpected to do particularly well on aver-age about three-quarters o the enrollmentare students o color or students who livein poverty But i you look at their state-test data some look surprisingly similar toany middle-class school in their states oth-ers are among their statesrsquo top perormersTheir success demands our attention

Our study o them makes it clear thatthese schools didnrsquot achieve success by ac-cident or by endless test prep either Theysucceeded because they had leaders who

understood good teaching made it theirpriority and honed it with their stas

We found commonalities among these

school leaders

n Successul principals help teachers im-prove their individual practice whetherthey are new or veteran New teachersor example lack experience in how toset up their classrooms to support rou-tines and manage discipline designa lesson or build relationships withstudents and colleagues As teachers

master those tasks they must learnto design lessons that engage all stu-dents and analyze data to see whichstudents need additional help or en-richment These principals gauge whattheir teachers need and arrange orthe appropriate support They assignmentor teachers they send in instruc-tional coaches or more-accomplishedteachers to teach model lessons they ortheir delegates observe instruction re-quently and oer suggestions and theymeet with teachers regularly to look atstudent data discuss relevant researchand explore options or their classrooms

ldquoBeore [new teachers] ever beginhere we explain [that] this is an ongo-ing learning experience and it shouldnever stoprdquo said John Capozzi the prin-cipal o Elmont Memorial High Schoolin Elmont NY one o the schools westudied

n Successul principals work with groupso teachers to nd patterns o instructionwithin grade levels and departments Istate math scores indicate that many othe 3rd graders didnrsquot understand mea-surement or some o the 9th graders

didnrsquot understand ractions were some teach-ersrsquo students more successul than others I so what did those teachers do dierently thatthey can share with their colleagues I notperhaps those grade levels need to reassesstheir approach Perhaps the teachers could

benet rom a math workshop or conerenceWhich teacher would be the best designeeto attend such an event and relay the mostpromising materials and techniques back tohis or her colleagues

n Successul principals identiy schoolwideneeds and plan proessional learning todevelop collective expertise For examplestudents who live in poverty oten arrive atschool with weak vocabularies and limitedbackground knowledge The principals westudied work with teachers to tackle thatproblem in a coherent way across grades andsubjects because they understand that stu-

dents will learn more when the school consis-tently intervenes

What we have described is a sophisticatedapproach to school leadership that requiresprincipals and other school leadersmdashassistantprincipals department chairs instructionalcoaches teacher leaders and othersmdashto havea deep knowledge o and respect or instruc-tion and or the proessional role o teachersBut it requires something more as well It re-quires a deep belie that all children can learnand a determination to gure out how to helpthem do so

This sounds simple but it means that educa-

tors must see that student ailure requires achange in their practice It takes leadership tohelp teachers take on the burden o studentailure look it squarely in the eye and askldquoWhat can we do dierentlyrdquo rather than de-clare ldquoThese students are helplessrdquo or thinkquietly to themselves ldquoI am a bad teacherrdquoFor teachers to be able to do this they needclear expectations rom their principal andthe opportunity to develop a proessional prac-tice through collaboration with colleagues

Good principals understand that no individual teacher can possibly have all the nec-essary content knowledge pedagogical skilland amiliarity with his or her students to be

successul 100 percent o the time with all o those students Good principals know that itis only by pooling the knowledge and skillso their teachers encouraging collaborationand ocusing on continual improvement thatstudents and their teachers will have the op-portunity to be successul

For that reason successful principalstake very concrete steps to supportteachers

n They build schoolwide master schedulescareully to make sure that instructional

time is not interrupted and that teachershave time to work and plan together duringthe school day

n They ensure that such collaboration timeis spent in ways that will have the biggest

instructional payo studying standardsmapping instruction building assessmentsstudying data and learning new contentand skills As Deb Gustason the principalo Ware Elementary School in Fort RileyKan says ldquoTime is our most precious com-modity and we must use it eectively andwisely [M]eetings and requirements mustbe well organized ocused agenda-drivenand contain specic expectationsrdquo

n They establish schoolwide routines anddiscipline processes so that time is notsquandered on behavioral problems or suchpopular time-wasters as umbling with ma-

terials classwide bathroom breaks or so-called ldquomovie Fridaysrdquo

n They model what they want to see AsRicci Hall the principal o University ParkCampus School in Worcester Mass put itldquoBeing a school leader is about helping tocreate powerul learning experiences oryour sta and aculty and creating the cir-cumstances where teachers can do the sameor their kidsrdquo

n They monitor the work o everyone in theschool to ensure that no teacher or sta

member shirks responsibility while othersare working their hearts out

n Above all they help teachers step back romthe ldquodaily-ness o teachingrdquo by providing theevaluative eye that allows teachers to thinkdeeply about whether they are getting themost eect or their eorts

This kind o leadership is a long way romthe traditional model o the principal as abuilding manager and ew principals havebeen trained this way But i we want schoolsthat prepare all children or productive citi-zenship this is the leadership we need

Sustainable leadership is characterizedby depth o learning and real achieve-ment rather than supercially testedperormance length o impact over the

long haul beyond individual leaders througheectively managed succession breadth o infu-ence where leadership becomes a distributedresponsibility justice in ensuring that leadership

actions do no harm to and actively benet stu-dents in other classes and schools diversity thatreplaces standardization and alignment withnetworks and cohesion resourceulness that con-serves and renews teachersrsquo and leadersrsquo energyand does not burn them out and conservationthat builds on the best o the past to create aneven better uture

The following are 10 practical ideas for

developing sustainable leadership in your

system or your school

1 Reocus your curriculum use o materi-

als and school design to include ecologicalsustainability as a core aspect o teaching andlearning or all students

2 Begin all discussions about achievement andhow to raise it with conversation and refec-tion about the learning that underpins theachievement Put learning rst beore testingand even beore achievement Get the learn-ing right and the others will ollow

3 Insist that all school improvement plansshould contain leadership succession plansThis does not mean naming successors but itmeans having continuing conversations andplans shared by the community about the u-

ture leadership needs o the school or district4 Make it a condition o proessional employ-

ment that every teacher and leader is part o alearning team in his or her school district thatmeets within scheduled school time on a regu-lar basis as well as outside o it This ocus o the learning teams should be sel-guided notadministratively imposed

5 Write your own proessional obituary Itmakes you think hard about the legacy youwant to leave and how deliberately you canbring that into being

6 Form a three-sided partnership with a lower-

or higher-perorming district or school in yourown country and with a school or district in aless-developed country so all are learning andinspired everyone needs and gives help andno one is top dog on everything

7 Establish a collaborative o schools in yourtown or city across district boundaries tocommit to community development initiatives

beyond the interests o particular schools8 Create a system where principals and leader-ship teams in successully turned-aroundschools can take on a second school or evena third (as well as their own) with dramati-cally improved salary (with resources beingprovided to maintain and replace capacity intheir ldquohomerdquo schools) to develop administra-tive careers or administrators without havingto abandon their close connections to learn-ing to provide peer assistance (rather thantop-down intervention) to struggling schoolsand to lighten district administration at thetop in avor o more interconnected leadership

within and across districts rom below9 Coach a teacher who looks like they have

little capacity or leadership-and not just oneswho look like they already have leadership inthem All leadership is learned even thoughsome will struggle more than others to learnit There will be little distributed leadershipunless the pool o leaders is widened to includethose who do not even yet aspire to lead at all

10Spend more time in schools i you work in thedistrict or more time in the classrooms i youare a principal in a school Donrsquot just checkup on people as in the overused managementwalk-through but develop genuine interest

in curiosity about and knowledge o whatteachers and students are doing Know yourpeople rst Check the data and spreadsheetssecond Not the other way around

These 10 ideas on sustainable leadership are an excerpt

teachersrsquo evaluations For principals themove is being prompted by US Departmento Education grant programs such as Race tothe Top which requires states or districts totie principal eectiveness ldquoin signicant partrdquoto growth in student achievement and by No

Child Let Behind waivers which allow statesfexibility on some requirements o the ederallaw in exchange or adopting certain policiesincluding revamped educator-evaluation pro-cedures

Test scores are generally one o severalmeasures o student achievement used innew principal evaluations which also look atschool climate surveys and improvements inteachersrsquo eectiveness among other gauges

ldquoTherersquos this collective realization that itrsquosmore complex than just a single test scorerdquosaid Dick Flanary the deputy executive direc-tor o programs and services at the National

Association o Secondary School Principals a

proessional group based in Reston Va Butboth the NASSP and the Alexandria Va-based National Association o ElementarySchool Principals which released recom-mendations about principal evaluations lastall say that making 40 percent or more o aprincipalrsquos evaluation dependent on student-achievement measures is inappropriate eveni that chunk o the review relies on morethan just state test scores

Meanwhile researchers and district leadershope the new systems will help clariy needsand expectations or school leaders

ldquoWe know that teachers have the biggest

impact on outcomes or childrenmdashand rightbehind that is the principalrdquo said JeannineFrench the deputy superintendent o the25000-student Pittsburgh district which isalso revamping its evaluation system to in-clude student growth ldquoItrsquos not just an evalua-tion tool Itrsquos about making sure principalshave the inormation they need about practiceso they can very specically improve so we getbetter results or our childrenrdquo

Though there is less research on principalevaluations than on teacher evaluations thechanges represent a step in the right direc-tion said Matthew Cliord a senior researchscientist at the American Institutes or Re-

search in Washington who is working onevaluation guidelines or districts in Illinoisand Maine ldquoMany places have systems orevaluating principals that are not system-atic and arenrsquot tied to standards right nowoten based on reputation and on anecdotalevidence Now wersquore building an evaluationsystem thatrsquos more systematicrdquo

H nd H

Thirty-our states have passed laws involv-ing principal evaluation in the past ve yearsand 22 will be implementing new systems

within the next two years said Mr CliordNone o the relevant ederal Education De-partment programs species what percentageo a school leaderrsquos evaluation needs to be tiedto test scores and states dier in how they dothat he said

In Florida or instance where evaluationswere initially tied mainly to state standard-ized tests the system was adjusted to actorin nontested subjects such as reading andmathematics said Mr Cliord Some statesincluding Washington and Minnesota requirestudent achievement to count or 35 percentwhile in Louisiana and Colorado itrsquos 50 per-cent The national principalsrsquo associations callor student growth to account or between 25percent and 35 percent o a principalrsquos evalu-ation which they say more closely relectshow much a principal can actually aect testscores

The remainder o principalsrsquo evaluations

generally deal with measures o practice andbehavior ldquoThe percent thing is more politi-cally based than research-basedrdquo said P FredStorti the executive director o the MinnesotaElementary School Principalsrsquo AssociationTest scores are an important part o the prin-cipalrsquos role he said ldquobut therersquos a lot you canrsquotboil down to a test scorerdquo

Sti Expeienting

Though the changes to evaluations are pick-ing up speed states have generally dedicatedless time to working out and implement-

ing principal evaluations than they have toteacher evaluations said Benjamin Fentonthe co-ounder o New Leaders a New York-based nonprot ocused on school leadershipldquoI think thatrsquos going to be a place o biggerocusrdquo he said As a rule ldquostates and districts are looking

at student outcomes to be a heavier weightor a larger ocial weight in evaluationsrdquo MrFenton said

Even so principalsrsquo evaluations have stirredless controversy than teachersrsquo perhaps be-cause principals are ewer in numbermdashna-tionwide there are about 95000 principalsas compared with 35 million teachersmdashand

mostly not unionized Mr Cliord saidPrincipals are also used to being held ac-

countable or the perormance o their schoolssaid John Youngquist the director o princi-pal talent development in the 84000-studentDenver district which plans to tie studenttest scores to evaluations starting next yearldquoItrsquos empowering to principal managers andprincipals when therersquos an agreed-upon set o understandingsrdquo

Cntext nd Sppt

In Dallas where student achievement will

now account or 40 percent o school leadersevaluations Superintendent Michael Milessaid the new evaluations mirror district priorities ldquoWe value student-achievement resultswe value high-quality instruction we valueparental engagement we value positive andsupportive school culturesrdquo he said

The evaluation system there goes hand in

hand with new principal-recruitment andproessional-development programs Mr Milessaid and with more support and training orevaluators Each evaluator is now responsibleor ewer principalsmdash10 to 12mdashin hopes thatthe appraisals will be more in-depth and accurate

The superintendent said that while Dallasinitially planned to have a system based halon student achievement and hal on principapractice eedback rom principals led him toshit the balance toward practice Mr Milessaid that a survey o the districtrsquos principalsshowed them evenly split among those who

approved o disapproved o and were neutratoward the new system ldquoWhenever you havemore-rigorous evaluation systems therersquosgoing to be some anxietyrdquo he said But ldquoI thinkthat most are at least willing to give it a tryrdquo

In Hawaii as in Chicago and Los Ange-les student achievement accounts or halo principalsrsquo evaluations said Ronn Nozoethe deputy superintendent o Hawaiirsquos education department which is the single statewide district responsible or 180000 studentsThe student-achievement component will bebased partly on schoolwide median growth onthe state test and partly on a measure chosen rom a list that includes ACT scores and

graduation ratesMr Nozoe said that developing the sys

tem had been a collaborative eort with thestate principalsrsquo union and Hawaii is also o-cused on providing proessional developmentaligned with the new requirements ldquoSupporting principals to support their teachersand support their students is by ar the mostimportant work we can dordquo Mr Nozoe said

Coverage o leadership expanded learning

time and arts learning is supported in part by

a grant rom The Wallace Foundation at www
