Discover How Simulations Can Strengthen the Principal Pipeline This research explores the powerful role digital simulations play in transforming leadership development across all four phases of the principal pipeline—recruitment, preparation, induction, and in-service professional learning. Conducted through a university–district partnership, the study highlights how simulations help bridge gaps in leadership preparation, improve decision-making skills, and support both new and experienced school leaders.
