RE: Leadership and AYP
Principal's Policy Blog: Aspen Commission's NCLB Recommendations are Not Grounded in Reality
The importance of principals in school improvement efforts is finally acknowledged in a recently released report by the Aspen Institute’s Commission on No Child Left Behind, but the recommendations included in the report fall short of truly addressing the needs of today’s middle level and high schools.
The Commission recommends establishing a definition of Highly Effective Principal (HEP). Under the proposal, states would have four years to implement a system to designate principals as HEPs. Principals who are employed by a school that does not make adequate yearly progress could have his or her HEP status revoked if the school does not make AYP after corrective action interventions.
