A synthesis of 20 years of research found that replacing a principal atthe 25th percentile of effectiveness with one at the 75th percentile of effectiveness would yield roughly an additional three months of student learning in reading and math—close to the four months of gain produced by a teacher atthe 75th percentile but over an entire school.3 Principal and teacher efforts go hand in hand, with the teacher as the key source of school-related influence in the classroom (typically 21 students in elementary schools) and the principal as the key source of school-related influence overall in the building (typically 483 students.) Principals also play vital roles in advancing equity.  \nComprehensive, aligned principal pipelines, made up of seven parts or domains, can help districts create a strong  \n1.

A study of schools in six large districts that had developed such pipelines found outperformance in math and reading compared to similar schools in their state. A related publication, Principal Pipeline Self-Study Guide for Districts, shows districts how to identify gaps in their current pipelines, plan for improvement, and implement plans over several years.4  \nTo use this guide, district federal programs officers along with district staff leading pipeline development may want to follow these steps:  \n Review Part 1 to reflect on the seven domains of a highquality, comprehensive principal pipeline, and consider using the Principal Pipeline Self-Study Guide for Districts to determine which domains to focus on first.  \n For each domain, use the guide to identify the federal sources you want to help support activities within it.  \n Review Part 2 to identify the purpose, core allowable uses, and allocation mechanisms for each of the federal funding sources, and ensure that your particular use meets statutory and regulatory requirements.  \n3.
