Research has demonstrated it, as long ago as McREL’s original research first reported in the 2005 ASCD publication School Leadership That Works (Marzano et al.) and confirmed as recently as 2021 in the Wallace Foundation report How Principals Affect Students and Schools: A Systematic Synthesis of Two Decades of Research (Grissom et al.) .  \nBut what defines effective leadership, exactly? What does it look like? And does it come from innate characteristics certain leaders were born with, or is it something that can be learned and applied by all current and prospective leaders?  \nMcREL’s analysis of research found that effective leadership is not about leader personality or style; rather, it’s about a set of 21 specific actions and behaviors that are significantly associated with higher levels of student achievement. We then translated these 21 actions into a framework which describes the knowledge, skills, strategies, and tools leaders need to positively impact student achievement, and developed a professional learning program to help current and aspiring principals and central office administrators learn to enact this knowledge in their routine leadership actions.  \nOur findings, framework, and professional learning program represent an integration of quantitative research, theoretical insights, and professional wisdom about effective leadership.
