"The average effect size between principal leadership and student achievement was found to be a notable .25. The two primary variables in whether leadership has a positive or negative impact are: the leader identifies and focuses on changes most likely to have a positive impact on student achievement, and the leader understand magnitude of change-leading and adjusts leadership accordingly.” Waters, T., Marzano, R.J., & McNulty, B.
