8. Leadership Matters In order for students to have high-quality learning gains year after year, whole schools must be high-functioning led by effective principals with effective teachers across the school. This is especially vital for turnaround schools, where studies find no examples of success without effective principal leadership. New Leaders for New Schools. (2009). Principal Effectiveness: A New Principalship to Drive Student Achievement, Teacher Effectiveness and School Turnarounds.

9. PROCESS National Board Certification for Principals is the first phase of an expanded umbrella program, National Board Certification for Educational Leaders (NBCEL) which assesses and identifies effective principals (NBCP). The process builds on the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS) highly successful program, National Board Certification for teachers and school counselors.

10. Rational and Purpose The process developed for National Board Certification for Principals reflects a rigorous and fair principal assessment process that could form the basis for an evaluation system that assesses effectiveness based on multiple measures of both student performance and instructional leadership skills.

11. What’s Required? Principal-candidates will prepare and submit a range of products and performances including data collection and analysis, audio and video artifacts, written plans and reflections, and interviews. This EVIDENCE is captured and submitted for scoring as a PORTFOLIO of Accomplished Performance.
