The primary purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between five of ISSLC's 2008 leadership standards as measured by a standardized employment interview (ICIS Principal) and the achievement of students with specific learning disabilities in core areas of instruction. Findings did not support the rejection of the null hypothesis. That is, a statistically significant relationship between these leadership measures and achievement levels of students with specific learning disabilities was not demonstrated. The analysis, however, did indicate that the relationship varied for students with specific learning disabilities in comparison to their grade-level peers. This latter evaluation encourages further investigation of methodological and conceptual issues that influence the relationship between principals and student achievement.
