Share your SAM Process experience with your colleagues with this infographic. NSIP Board President Bert Hendee requests:

“We encourage you to share the infographic on your website as well as with at least one colleague in 2026.  We hope you will share the good work you all do.”

Start by including this infographic on your school web page.

Last year, the composite results for SAM teams nationally made clear this daily professional development process makes sense for every school leader.  In fact, it is the only professional development process proven by external and independent research to increase school leader time spend and positive impact on teacher practice and student learning.

➢ SAM principals spend two times more time in classrooms than non-SAM principals.

➢ SAM principals spend three times more time in feedback conversations with teachers than non-SAM principals

➢ SAM principals spend four times more time focused on improved teaching and learning than non-SAM principals.

➢ 95% of SAM principals can connect their time with improved teacher practice.
