<span style="font-size:10.0pt;line-height:105%;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">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 <i>SD</i>), teacher instructional practices (0.34 <i>SD</i>), and school organizational
health (0.69 <i>SD</i>); (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.</span><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
