>efficacy should apply to Goal Three.

>Through the Education Leadership research program, NCER supports research
>to improve the quality of leadership and administration at the local level
>(e.g., building, district, and region) in order to enhance the teaching
>and learning environment for students and thereby improve student
>outcomes. This program is intended to support research on innovative
>approaches to the recruitment, retention, and training of education
>leaders as well as the development and evaluation of professional
>development programs for education leaders. Innovative approaches to
>recruitment of education leaders includes alternative pathways to school
>leadership that are designed to eliminate the barriers that keep talented
>potential school leaders from joining the profession and to provide the
>preparation and support necessary for these leaders to effectively
>function in today's complex education environment.

>Improving student achievement and educational attainment (e.g., high
>school graduation, enrollment and completion of postsecondary education)
>is a national concern. Through the Education Policy, Finance, and Systems
>program, the Institute supports research to improve student learning and
>achievement by identifying changes in the ways in which schools and
>districts are organized, managed, and operated that may be directly or
>indirectly linked to student outcomes. Rather than improving student
>learning by changing directly the curricula or instructional approaches,
>organizational and management approaches are generally designed to change
>the structure and operation of schools or districts in ways that may
>indirectly improve the overall teaching and learning environment and lead
>to increased student achievement.
