The document discusses the importance of principals in influencing student achievement, noting they account for nearly 25% of the variation in academic success. It suggests that effective principals conduct more unscheduled observations and provide immediate feedback to teachers. Additionally, it introduces the concept of 'de-office' where principals should spend less time in their offices and engage more directly with students and teachers.

teachers as the most influential
in-school factor in student
achievement. But the Wallace
Foundation calculated that principals
represent nearly 25 percent of the
variation in a school’s achievement.
