Homeroom Education | Leaders Who Reflect Their Communities: A Push for Principal Pathways

Principal turnover can cost districts tens of thousands of dollars each year. Beyond the financial impact, retaining effective school leaders is critical: principals are the most significant in-school factor influencing teacher retention and the second-largest factor affecting student achievement. According to the 2024 Across the Aisle survey, 62 percent of voters believe that racial and gender equity among educators has a positive impact on student performance. To advance this work, The Wallace Foundation is coordinating the Equity-Centered Pipeline Initiative, which supports more diverse and equitable pathways into school leadership. Through this effort, eight large school districts are developing principal pipelines designed to produce leaders who can champion educational equity and strengthen student learning. Join The Hunt Institute for a conversation about why representation in school leadership matters and how equitable pathways can help shape the next generation of principals. 💻 Join us for future webinars: https://hunt-institute.org/resources/...
