In 2007, the Pittsburgh Public Schools (PPS) received funding from the U.S. Department of Educations Teacher Incentive Fund (TIF) program to adopt a set of reforms designed to improve the quality of leadership, including a revised compensation program for principals. The resulting program, the Pittsburgh Urban Leadership System for Excellence (PULSE) initiative, represents a multifaceted approach to improving school leadership and student learning throughout the district. A key component of PULSE is the Pittsburgh Principal Incentive Program (PPIP), a system of performance-based evaluation and compensation through which the district provides principals with support, assistance, and performance-based financial awards tied to measures of their leadership practices and student achievement growth. PULSE and PPIP reflect a growing research-based understanding of the critical role that principal leadership plays in districts efforts to improve student achievement.
The RAND Corporation partnered with PPS on this grant and played two roles in the project. First, RAND researchers provided advice on the design of the measures used to evaluate principal performanceparticularly the measures based on student achievement. Second, RAND served as the projects evaluator. This report addresses the second role, presenting the key findings from the evaluation and discussing their implications for principal evaluation policy and practice. The RAND team provided formative feedback, including specific recommendations for program improvement, directly to PPS through internal memos. This monograph is the final product of the evaluation and focuses on lessons that can be applied to the broader field beyond PPS. It should be of interest to practitioners, policymakers, and researchers designing, implementing, or studying principal evaluation systems.
This research was conducted in RAND Education, a unit of the RAND Corporation. Funding for this work was provided by a subcontract to PPS on the districts TIF grant from the U.S. Department of Education.

In 2007, the Pittsburgh Public Schools (PPS) received funding from the U.S. Department of Educations Teacher Incentive Fund (TIF) program to implement the Pittsburgh Urban Leadership System for Excellence (PULSE), a set of reforms designed to improve the quality of school leadership throughout the district. A major component of PULSE is the Pittsburgh Principal Incentive Program (PPIP), a system of support, performance-based evaluation, and compensation. The new compensation system has two major components: (1) an annual opportunity for a permanent salary increase of up to $2,000 based primarily on principals performance on a rubric that is administered by assistant superintendents (who supervise principals) and that measures practices in several areas and (2) an annual bonus of up to $10,000 based primarily on student achievement growth. The district also offered bonuses to principals who took positions in high-need schools. PPIP provided principals with several forms of support, such as professional development focused on improving leadership, feedback and coaching from assistant superintendents, and participation in Directed Professional Growth (DPG) projects that allowed principals to choose an area in which to work to improve their own skills. The RAND Corporation served as the evaluator of PPIP and examined implementation and outcomes from school years 20072008 through 20102011. Although the district is likely to continue implementing much of what constitutes PPIP, this report focuses only on the period during which PPIP was being funded by the TIF grant. The evaluation addressed the following broad questions:
- What is the districts theory of action regarding how PPIP is expected to promote improved student outcomes?
- How were the PPIP capacity-building interventions implemented, and how have principals responded to them?
- To what extent have principals skills and practices changed over the course of PPIP?
