Goals

Principals play a critical leadership role. Our goals focus on producing exceptional leaders with the skills to dramatically improve school performance and drive educational excellence on a national scale:

1. School Performance at Scale
By 2014, 80% (over 300) of schools led by New Leaders principals for at least 5 years will have 90-100% of students achieve proficiency in core academic subjects and be on track to graduate from high school ready for college, careers, and citizenship.

2. Mission-Driven, High-Quality Principals to Support Citywide Success for All Students
By 2014, over 50% of schools in most of our current partner cities, and over 50% of principal vacancies, will be filled by high-quality New Leaders principals selected and trained by New Leaders with the knowledge, skills, beliefs, and frameworks needed to ensure 90-100% student success rates in their schools. At our current scale, and with our planned growth, this will lead, by 2014, to New Leaders training 20-25% of the principals in the U.S. needed for urban, low-income schools.

3. World-Class, Scalable, Sustainable Organization and Innovative "Action Tank"
By 2014, New Leaders will be a world-class, scalable, sustainable, data-driven organization that has created an essential knowledge base that is actively used by education policy and decision-makers to drive educational excellence at scale. This innovative "action tank" will blend the power of a think tank with the results of and lessons learned from highly successful schools and principals at increasing scale.
