This paper presents summaries of selected articles and research reports that address the role of the principal in areas of instructional leadership, teacher evaluation, and student achievement. Research concludes that the single most important factor in determining the success of a school is the ability of the principal to coordinate, organize, and support the staff in planning, implementing, and evaluating improvements in the school's instructional program. Findings from research on the principal as an evaluator of teachers indicate the importance of school administrators to (1) set clearly defined instructional goals, (2) effectively communicate these goals to teachers, (3) build consensus among diverse understandings of the evaluation process, and (4) use evaluation results to strengthen professional growth. Research also suggests that it is the principal who has the greatest influence in establishing the school climate that will produce student success. A review of research studies highlights the need for improvements in the academic preparation and inservice training of principals. Appended are 10 general references and a 22-item bibliography on the role of the principal. (IW)
