Summary:Principal leadership influences both the school environment and classroom teaching practices, and a principal's ability to establish strong, collaborative instructional practices is essential to academic success. To date, very little research on leadership has focused on charter schools. Even though charter schools continue to grow in number and importance within the U.S. public education system, leadership in charter schools remains somewhat of a "black box." This study seeks to use the extant research on leadership practices, charter schools, and the importance of principals, and original data from charter school principals, to expand the empirical findings on leadership in charter schools.
