  1. A principal identifies that a high percentage of disciplinary referrals come from a small number of classrooms. What does this data MOST likely suggest?

    Answer: There may be instructional or classroom management practices in those rooms that need support

    Clustering of referrals in specific classrooms points to teacher-level variables as a more likely root cause than student factors alone.

  2. Which of the following BEST describes a school leader's role in managing human capital?

    Answer: Strategically matching teacher strengths and experience to student and school needs

    Strategic deployment of human capital aligns staff strengths with school priorities to maximize student outcomes.

  3. A grant opportunity requires a 25% matching contribution from the school's operating budget. What should the principal evaluate FIRST?

    Answer: Whether the grant deliverables align with the school improvement plan and whether matching funds are available

    Grant pursuit must be evaluated against strategic alignment and fiscal feasibility before committing school resources.

  4. A school leader wants to evaluate the effectiveness of a tutoring intervention. Which data approach is MOST appropriate?

    Answer: Compare tutored students' pre- and post-intervention assessment scores against a similar non-tutored group

    Comparing outcomes between intervention and comparison groups provides the most credible evidence of program effectiveness.

  5. Which practice BEST supports transparent and ethical financial management in a school?

    Answer: Providing regular, clear budget reports to staff, families, and school governance bodies

    Transparent financial reporting builds community trust and ensures accountability for public education funds.

  6. A principal is using a logic model for a school improvement initiative. What is the PRIMARY purpose of the logic model?

    Answer: To map the relationship between inputs, activities, outputs, and intended outcomes

    A logic model visually connects program resources and activities to expected short- and long-term outcomes, supporting strategic planning.
