This book was released on 2021 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study uses qualitative methods to investigate the perceptions of public-school superintendents on professional learning for public-school principals in the state of Connecticut. Mentoring and professional development are two major components of professional learning, and in this study the superintendents reflect on both during in-depth interviews. Individually, they discuss how mentoring and professional development are used in their districts to implement strategic goals, and to enhance the effectiveness of the building principal. All the superintendents viewed principal professional learning as important to successfully articulating and implementing district goals. In addition, the superintendents viewed professional learning as an essential tool for supporting their principals. This was especially true for developing competence in emerging constructs such as social emotional learning (SEL) or hybrid classrooms. Four themes emerged from a multi-step collection/processing/analysis of the data on superintendent perceptions on mentoring and professional development. These four themes were: relationship(s), vision, climate and culture, and organizational perspective. The themes are unpacked and discussed along with implications for policy and practice. In this study superintendents provide their perceptions on professional learning among principals in public schools and the findings will be of interest to principals, aspiring superintendents pland administrators, school boards, search committees, and educational policy makers.

Download or read book The Professional Development Needs of Principals in Connecticut s Alliance Districts written by Trevor L. Ellis and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grounded in the Interstate School Leaders Licensure Consortium (ISLLC) Standards and the leadership competencies to facilitate a comprehensive school improvement process, Salazar's (2001) needs assessment survey instrument was modified to quantify the professional development needs of 133 of Connecticut's Alliance District principals. The Alliance District program is a critical part of Connecticut's education reform effort and was designed to compel and equip school leaders to focus on turning around persistently low-performing schools and closing the achievement gap. If schools are to successfully meet the demands of a changing society and improve student achievement, then principals must be provided with professional development activities that enhance their ability to lead schools through a school improvement process. The purpose of this study was to determine the professional development needs of Connecticut's Alliance District principals and to identify their preferred delivery mode for that professional development. Findings suggest that there is merit in allowing principals to direct and determine how and what activities are essential for their professional development. Data indicates that the principals required ongoing, workshop-oriented, and goal driven professional development that focuses on analyzing data, defining the core values and beliefs of education, building team commitment, and creating a learning organization to successfully lead a school improvement process. These results provide direction for professional development programs and teaching and learning practices that are necessary to enhance the leadership knowledge and skills principals require to guide school reform and increase student achievement. The new millennium reflects a period of rapid, endless change ushered in by constant advancements in science, technology, and globalization. As a result, the ways we communicate with one another, access and share information, teach, learn, and process knowledge have been intimately altered. Hence, we must acknowledge, although carefully, the value and importance of context independent understandings and their potential implications for future work. Future research must include finding ways to better support and equip principals to address the demands associated with leading school reform, as they continue to manifest in school districts in need of improvement, such as those that participated in this study.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore the critical skills necessary for a successful superintendency in a challenging fiscal context as perceived by school board presidents, school business managers, and superintendents. Additionally, this study investigated the effect that the context of fiscal strain has on the participants' perceptions of the skills deemed critical for a successful superintendency. Fourteen superintendents, eight business managers, and nine school board presidents from seven eastern and southeastern Pennsylvania school districts participated in the study. Six participants also took part in individual interviews. This study utilized the Pennsylvania Leadership Standards and their related competencies as a framework for the research instruments. Results of this study indicated that superintendents, board presidents, and business managers identified the domains of Vision, Organizational Management, Communication and Collaboration and their related skills as critical for a successful superintendency in the context of fiscal strain. Additionally, this study found that subjects believed that these domains would remain the most significant no matter the challenges faced by their districts.
