Successful School Leadership: Findings From U.S.-Based Teams in the International Successful School Principalship Project (ISSPP).
In this symposium, sponsored by UCEA Center for the Study of School Site Leadership, we synthesize findings from 20 case studies of successful leadership in high-needs schools. These case studies were developed by US-based teams in the ISSPP. For each case we describe the school and community context, including major leadership challenges. We also examine how principals set direction, developed people, redesigned their organizations and managed their instructional programs (Louis, Leithwood, Wahlstrom, & Anderson, 2010).
