  10. 360 • Leadership Profile 360 (www.educationleadershipthatworks.org) survey • Gathers information from three perspectives: • principals, • teachers, • principals' supervisors • The 360-degree feature enables principals to identify differences among their own leadership behaviors and the perceptions of staff members and supervisors. • The 92-item survey also includes items designed to gauge how teachers perceive improvement efforts underway in their schools – • that is, whether teachers view such efforts as small, incremental changes • or as more complex changes that are likely to require principals to emphasize a different set of leadership responsibilities.

  11. 360 • To help principals use the survey results to become better school leaders, the new website also provides principals with a wide array of professional development resources. • The survey is based on McREL's meta-analysis of 30 years of research examining the impact of school leadership on student achievement, reported in the new publication School Leadership that Works: From Research to Results (Marzano, Waters & McNulty, 2005). • The research study, the largest-ever study of school leaders, identified 21 leadership responsibilities that are significantly correlated with higher levels of student achievement. • "Our research on school leaders makes it clear that principals can have a profound impact on student achievement. This survey answers the increasingly loud call for research-based guidance to help school leaders become more effective in helping all students achieve," said Tim Waters, McREL's President and CEO.
