Wallace Principal Pipeline Initiative CMS was awarded a grant from the Wallace Foundation, which launched an initiative in 2011 to help six urban school districts develop a much larger corps of effective principals and to determine whether this makes a difference in student learning in their schools. Based on 10 years of research, Wallace has identified four key parts of a principal pipeline that can develop and ensure the success of a sufficient number of principals to meet district needs.
Principal Pipeline Initiative • School Executive Leadership Academy • Aspiring Leaders
AP/Principal Talent Pools • Rigorous screening and selection that provides candidates for school based selection process • Resume, Letter of Interest, PD transcript, evaluations (past three years), student/school level data that demonstrates impact • Interview, Writing Exercise and Case Discussion (principal candidates only) • Rubric that aligns with NC Seven Standards of Executive Leadership • Screening by HR; selection by principals • All candidates for principals/AP positions must be in the talent pool • School leadership position openings only advertised to talent pool candidates and sitting principal/APs • Training provided to talent pool candidates
Talent Effectiveness Project: AP/Principal Evaluation The Talent Effectiveness Project is aimed at developing all talent across the district, to ultimately ensure student success. • The principal design team has recommended: • Ensure consistency with the evaluation process • Explore ways to incorporate peer feedback for developmentalpurposes • Identify ways to improve the teacher survey
