Hello!

This is a reminder that the first session of the EMPL Seminar Series will be next Wednesday, February 20. Below is an abstract of what will be discussed by Assistant Professor David Liebowitz and Lorna Porter, graduate student:


Principals are understood to be critical actors in improving teaching and learning conditions in schools; however, relatively little is known about the leadership strategies to which principals should dedicate their time and effort to improve outcomes. We review the empirical literature on principal behaviors and student, teacher and school outcomes and conduct a meta-analysis of these relationships. Our analysis has three central findings: (1) we find direct evidence of the relationship between principal behaviors and student achievement (0.09-0.17 standard deviations), teacher well-being (0.34 SD), teacher instructional practices (0.34 SD), and school organizational health (0.69 SD); (2) we find no evidence of the relative importance of instructional management strategies compared to other leadership behaviors; and (3) the preceding findings are based almost entirely on observational studies because the causal evidence base on school leadership behaviors is non-existent. We argue our findings suggest value in investing in school leadership capacities. We conclude by discussing opportunities to improve the quality of future research examining the relationship between principal behaviors and student, teacher and school outcomes.

This seminar will be from 12:00 (noon) - 1:00 pm in 115 Lokey Education. Some light refreshments will be available to those who attend in person, but Zoom connection will also be available. See the attached flyer for details.

Hope to see you there!
