The goal of this publication is to provide a snapshot of some of the publicly available resources describing efforts across Race to the Top States to ensure that turnaround schools have effective leaders. It is based on a review of Race to the Top State Annual Performance Reports, including State reports of Year 1 accomplishments and second year plans moving forward, as well as a review of highlights on State Race to the Top websites. This is not intended to be an exhaustive review of school leadership initiatives; rather, the highlights focus on recent and Race to the Top-supported, State-driven efforts to improve the "principal pipeline" by adopting strategies for recruitment, induction and preparation of aspiring school leaders, particularly for the State's lowest performing schools.
