Rethinking the Principalship: Key Considerations for States

Strong principalship sits at the heart of transformative change in schools and the communities they serve. As the second most influential school-based factor impacting student achievement, school leaders shape educational outcomes, influence school culture, and drive teacher retention. Yet, with rising dissatisfaction and burnout, many principals are considering leaving the profession in the coming years.

Could a redefinition of the principalship—one that aligns the role with research on the most effective uses of a school leader’s time—help strengthen the principal pipeline and empower leaders to drive meaningful change?

Join us on December 17, 2024, at 3:00 pm ET, for a thought-provoking presentation from experts at the Aspen Institute Education and Society Program, who will build off recent reports to discuss ways to rethink and redefine the role of the principal, along with examples of innovation in practice. Following the presentation, state board members are invited to stay for a facilitated conversation about innovative, student-centered principalship practices in their states, along with a discussion on how policies can better support principals to lead for lasting change.
