How do we increase the number of highly effective school principals and attract strong leaders to the schools that are the most difficult to staff?
Learning Point Associates is leading the efforts to answer this question.
Our leadership research and evaluation work is shaping the programs to develop and attract effective leaders and increasing the field’s understanding of the best methods to increase the skills and assess the performance of school principals.
Our Quality School Leadership Identification (QSL-ID) process guides hiring committees to identify the leaders with the right skills to match the specific needs of their schools.
