Revolutionizing Education Through School Leadership Research

AACTE speaks with Dr. Jason Grissom, lead author of the Wallace commissioned report, “How Principals Affect Students and Schools, A Systematic Synthesis of Two Decades of Research". Released in February 2021, this report summarizes the connection between school leadership and school outcomes, as evidenced by research advances that haven’t been properly synthesized since 2004. In our conversation, Dr. Grissom walks us through the major landscape shifts in the past 20 years, with key insights into how prep programs can be effective, equitable leaders.
