About this experience

The Elementary Principal Collective: Leading Shifts in Literacy Practice


Big literacy gains start with bold leadership.
 
Join a dynamic cohort of elementary principals tackling real-world literacy challenges. In the Elementary Principal Collective, you will team up to explore what really moves the needle in reading instruction. Together, you'll dig into high-impact strategies, swap stories from the field, and design smart solutions that stick. It’s hands-on, brains-on, and all about learning side-by-side to spark change that lasts. This is more than professional development—it’s a shared movement to shift the story on literacy, together.

Comparing Teacher and Principal Effects on Student Achievement*
Average increase in student achievement associated with: Reading Achievement
Moving a teacher at the 25th percentile of teacher effectiveness to one at the 75th percentile:

0.17 SD = 3.8 months of learning

Averaged across all students in the teacher’s classroom

Moving a principal at the 25th percentile of principal effectiveness to one at the 75th percentile:

0.12 SD = 2.7 months of learning

Averaged across all students in the principal’s school

* Recent study results show that principals have large effects on student learning, approaching even the effects of individual teachers. Replacing a principal at the 25th percentile in effectiveness with one at the 75th percentile can increase annual student learning in reading by almost three months.
