Principals Matter!
In Dallas ISD, we believe that great schools are those that provide equity and excellence for ALL students and require strong leaders to do so.
Check out the video below for a glimpse into a Principal Candidate's experience.
“It wasn't just an application, but a well-thought-out process designed to highlight the skill sets of each candidate. It was clear to me that not just anyone could be a principal and that I would need to really prove myself throughout this process to be considered for such an important role. I am truly humbled and honored to be part of such a group of incredible leaders here in Dallas.”
--Amber Shields, new principal
Overview of the Process
“More than ever before, I feel I have an accurate idea of who our candidates are and the strengths they bring to the position. Not only does this mean we are better at placing the right candidates in the right schools, but I know where our coaching needs to begin as soon as a principalship begins.”
--Dr. Reyna Sotelo, Executive Director

The selection process for principal candidates will include multiple application phases and various types of assessments, including on-site visits to assess candidates’ performance in job-embedded activities. Only applicants who are successful during our selection process will be entered into the Principal Candidate Pool, and therefore eligible to interview for school-specific principal openings.
