Interviewees: 

  • Marina Cofield, senior executive director, Office of Leadership in New York City Public Schools.
  • Tricia McManus, assistant superintendent of leadership, professional development and school transformation, Hillsborough County Public Schools.
  • Glenn Pethel, assistant superintendent of leadership development, Gwinnett County Public Schools.

All six districts that participated in the Principal Pipeline Initiative maintained all four pipeline components–two years after funding from The Wallace Foundation ended. These district leaders discuss how the pipeline enhanced existing school leadership improvement efforts and why sustaining principal pipelines was feasible, affordable and effective for their whole school community.
