"A Matter of Principals"

Vanderbilt Peabody College co-partnered with the George W. Bush Institute to produce "A Matter of Principals" to tell the story of effective school leadership in a visually compelling way. Much is known from the research literature about the attributes of school leadership that are linked to student performance, but almost nothing has documented the nuances of how effective leadership attributes are lived out in harmony with a particular school community. Context plays a crucial role in effective leadership. A Matter of Principals highlights how two highly effective leaders demonstrate the same attributes, or "tricks of the trade", but in very different ways as influenced by their own personalities and the needs of their school communities.
