      Developing the skills to become an instructional leader is no easy task. The Wallace Foundation recommends five principles all leaders should aspire to adapt: a successful academic vision, a focused learning climate, a model of distributed leadership, solid instruction, and management with an eye toward improvement. But how to put these recommendations into action? Learning Forward's "The Principal Story Learning Guide" uses clips from the PBS documentary The Principal's Story, paired with activities, research, and reflection to help leaders understand and implement these leadership practices in their own settings. The five-part PD unit is available for free.
