RAND Corporation analysts developed an approach for estimating the district resources required to put in place and operate principal pipelines--pipelines for preparing, hiring, supporting, and managing school leaders--based on data they collected from six urban districts that participated in The Wallace Foundation's Principal Pipeline Initiative.

New Leaders is a nonprofit organization that partners with school districts to prepare and support principals. This report describes how the New Leaders program was implemented in partner districts, and it provides evidence of the effect that New Leaders has on student achievement.
