Role Of Principal

Reform strategies for upgrading educational administration call for a revised conception of the role of principal as transformational leader and a different mechanism for recruiting and selecting principal candidates, especially women and minorities. This article reports an investigation of the attractions to the principalship perceived by women and minorities recruited into a preparation program that emphasizes a more transformational view of the principal's role. A cohort of 14 women and minorities received questionnaires upon entry to the preparation program and were interviewed at the end of the program to identify attractions, disincentives, and aspirations to a reformed view of the principalship. The findings suggest that perceptions of the critical nature of the plight of urban youngsters, the commitment to improving learning environments, and the desire to create change are attractors for women and minorities. The study also found that these recruits are not attracted to any school setting but look for contexts which support their commitment to urban education and the desire to make changes. The article identifies implications for recruitment and preparation programs.

Distributed leadership as a new scenario of educational leadership has become a popular topic in the contemporary world. Many notable researchers and members of the discourse community have contributed significantly to its development. However, little attention has paid to its effectiveness. Hence, the main purpose of this article is to analyze the existing evidence for the effect of principal’s leadership practice on students’ academic achievement from a distributed perspective. To do so, a systematic search of academic databases was conducted and 68 references spanning from the year 2001 to 2018 were selected and systematically reviewed. Due consideration was given to their concepts of distributed leadership practice, principal’s role, and students’ academic achievement. The findings of this article show that distributed leadership has positive and indirect effect on students’ academic achievement and the role of principal is indispensable. Nevertheless, there is little emperical evidence, a lack of universal accepted patterns and best practices of distributed leadership which strains further investigation. On the basis of evidence currently available, it seems reasonable to recommend scholars, policy developers, and practitioners to recognize the role of principal on distributed leadership and its best practices.

Purpose: A substantial research base focuses on principal preparation program standards, design, and effectiveness. Little is known, however, about which institutions are preparing principal candidates and how many candidates they have produced since 2003. Our study provides the field with a better understanding of the overall preparation landscape and addresses issues of principal supply and demand. Research Methods: We use several national datasets in this exploratory study to track changes in educational administration degree production at the national, state, and university level from 2000 to 2014 as well as how these compare with changing K-12 student populations and principal demand. Findings: Key findings include (a) the number of institutions granting degrees in educational administration increased by 72% this century, (b) the total number of leadership degrees granted doubled over this time period and is substantially larger at all award levels (i.e., postbaccalaureate, master’s, specialist, doctorate) in 2014 than 2000, and (c) the types of institutions offering educational leadership degrees and their production rates have changed dramatically over this time period. Implications: The supply of principal candidates far exceeds the number annual principal openings offering school systems greater choice among candidates. Further research is needed on the issues of readiness and career intentions of the candidates. The majority of growth in program offerings and degrees granted has been generated in less-resourced and less selective institutions. Researchers in the field have argued that adequate resources are critical to providing program components for effective principal preparation thus raising questions about the quality of program candidates.

A university near a major city in Georgia and a large, urban school district established a Professional Development School (PDS) in which the majority of junior and senior-level pre-service teacher coursework and fieldwork took place at seven urban, high-needs public schools.  The purpose of this study was to provide preliminary feedback to the middle grades teacher preparation program concerning the UE (Urban Education) program in preparation for the second cohort of UE interns and the second year of study with the first cohort.  What emerged from the study was evidence that the program, for its participating teacher candidates, leads to commitment, strengthens self-efficacy, and fosters early development of teacher efficacy, but which ultimately evolves into teacher candidate overconfidence.  As pressure continues to mount concerning the quality of education in America, teacher preparation programs must improve their programs in order to better prepare teachers for diverse classrooms.  This study relates one such effort toward that end.

Academic Content

The academic content of graduate preparation programs and the competencies they instill in their graduates is central to the quality and competence of student affairs practitioners within colleges and universities. The focus of this study was to gain additional understanding of what professional competencies were considered important for entry level practitioners by student affairs administrators and preparation program faculty, and whether these competencies were expected to be attained in either preparation programs or on the job. Significant differences were found between the three surveyed groups related to both importance and where the competencies were expected to be attained. These findings have implications for both preparation programs and the mentoring role of supervising administrators.
