Designing Our Principal Pipeline From A Job-Embedded Residency, Dusty L. Palmer, Irma L. Almager, Fernando Valle
School Leadership Review
This qualitative case study explores the impact of job-embedded principal preparation residency programs through the lens of a school district’s administrator.

When campus administrators and teachers perceive teacher evaluation as primarily a tool to document poor performers, the growth aspect of the evaluation process is not maximized.
