I found many useful insights along with the few minor points with which I might quibble. I comment on three aspects of Newton's…

This brief reviews the publicly available principal assessments and points superintendents and policy makers toward strong instruments to measure principal performance.

A number of applied psychologists have suggested that trainability test Black-White ethnic group differences are low or relatively low (e.g., Siegel & Bergman, 1975), though data are scarce.
