Reference Letters, also known as Recommendation letters, are
mostly used by students and professionals to showcase their past performances of excellence which, obviously, the current employer or the institute would not be aware of.
The framework for our overall project also points to the
mostly indirect influence of principals «actions on
students and on
student learning.223 Such actions are mediated, for example,
by school conditions such as academic press, 224 with significant consequences for teaching and learning and for powerful features of classroom practice such as teachers «
uses of instructional time.225 Evidence - informed decision making
by principals, guided
by this understanding of principals «work, includes having and
using a broad array of evidence about many things: key features of their school «s external context; the status of school and classroom conditions mediating leaders «own leadership practices; and the status of their
students «learning.
