Strengthening School Leadership: Effective and Empowering Professional Learning Opportunities for Principals

Marjorie Wechsler, Principal Research Manager at the Learning Policy Institute, will present findings from the report Developing Effective Principals: What Kind of Learning Matters. In the presentation she will discuss the elements of high-quality principal learning that research has associated with positive school, teacher, and student outcomes; examine the extent to which principals have opportunities to participate in learning experiences with those elements; and discuss state and local policies and practices that drive both the development of high-quality learning opportunities and access to them.
