The CTLDA sponsors research in effective recruitment and selection processes, leadership development through mentoring, teacher leadership, and leadership development school models. Completed research reports will be posted to this site.
The 2008 University of Texas Principalship Cohort conducted a study of Sims Elementary as part
of their degree requirements for principal certification. As part of this study, both qualitative and
quantitative data were collected and analyzed to create a current story of Sims Elementary. Several
themes presented themselves through the data and these became our major areas of focus. These themes were Unity: Peer and Faculty Cohesion, Structures for Support, Parent and Community Involvement, and School Environment and Safety.
