Have more than three years of experience overall
Have at least three years of experience at that school
Share leadership responsibilities, rather than just delegate paperwork
Have a clear sense of instructional goals
Give ongoing, informal feedback and support toward those goals
Conduct unannounced, informal teacher evaluations or classroom visits and give feedback afterward
Have school boards and superintendents who exhibit a clear vision of what constitutes a good school and create a framework that gives principals both autonomy and support to reach those goals
