This study documents actions of Wallace Foundation grantees to create more-cohesive policies and initiatives to improve instructional leadership in schools; describes how states and districts have worked together to forge such policies and initiatives; and examines the hypothesis that cohesive systems improve school leadership. Such efforts appear to be a promising approach to developing school principals engaged in improving instruction.

State government spending on the arts is minimal-and may be losing ground relative to other state expenditures. The authors examine efforts made by state arts agencies to address a changing political and fiscal environment and present their findings on the risks and rewards of bringing the arts and politics closer together. This volume is the second in a series that covers the findings of a multiyear study of the changing roles and missions of state arts agencies.
