How (and How Much) Principals Affect Students and Schools - February 28, 2023 (9:00AM-10:30AM CST)

Who knew? ;) Principals actually do have an impact upon schools and individual students. But as it turns out, its far more than previously believed!

Dr. Jason Grissom, Vanderbilt University professor of public policy and education, has recently conducted a major review of 20 years of research for The Wallace Foundation which confirms principals are even more important for student achievement than anyone knew. Join this conversation with our good friend, Dr. Grissom, and learn WHICH skills and practices among principals are linked to positive outcomes for students. Discuss how you can leverage this newfound knowledge in improving your own district. Consider how this information might influence your principal pipeline, whether formal or informal.

The implications of this research are (not to be overly dramatic) a game changer.
