Executive Summary: Leading Learning Communities: A Principal’s Guide to Early Learning and the Early Grades (Pre-K–3rd Grade)

National Association of Elementary School Principals; National P3 Center

  • View this resource

The goal of this publication is to provide a structure and a set of competencies that can guide principals in creating and supporting connections between birth to age five and K-12 systems in order to build successful Pre-K–3rd grade continuums in their schools.

This body of work provides a tool for principals to not only keep pace with their ever-shifting roles, but to help them support children to reach their greatest potential. This guide will also help school leaders identify important areas of focus, fine-tune developmentally appropriate leadership practices, and align Pre-K experiences with early elementary grades, thereby providing a coherent, related set of learning experiences for children during the first critical years of schooling.
