Principal Role Clarity
On-demand webinar
What should instructional leadership look like when it comes to the day-to-day responsibilities of a principal? And how do leaders divide these responsibilities within their teams?
We launched the Principal Role Clarity project to document the challenges associated with unclear role expectations for school leaders—and uncover promising solutions. In this on-demand webinar, Emily Freitag, CEO and co-founder of Instruction Partners, and Jason Grissom, professor of public policy and education at Vanderbilt University, share our findings.

To better understand both the causes and the implications of unclear role expectations for school leaders, we conducted an extensive review of existing research and interviewed leaders from 15 school systems. Our findings indicate that there is an urgent need for a clear and shared understanding of instructional leadership roles and activities across the education sector.
