What Makes an Effective Principal?

The Wallace Foundation's Knowledge Center on School Leadership released a report, Developing Effective Principals: What Kind of Learning Matters, that synthesized two decades of research on principal pre-service preparation and professional development. In this episode, we discuss the critical themes of the report with experts and practitioners, including lead author Linda Darling-Hammond, all of whom emphasize the importance of equity and diversity throughout principal preparation and how students, families, communities, and districts benefit when it's centered.
