ABSTRACT
Transforming a school from low performing to high performing is one of the most difficult challenges faced by campus principals. The overwhelming issues that plague schools in need of improvement is even more challenging for principals who are new to the position. Every turnaround process starts with an assessment of all the data sources that can adequately describe all the aspects of the school organization. The pivotal moment in the school’s change process happens when the principal uses the data to initiate the planning and implementation toward a vision of teacher effectiveness toward the goal of improved student achievement improvement.
