Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this phenomenological study was to explore the lived experiences of secondary principals who participated in a large urban mid-Atlantic school district's, District Y, secondary principal preparation program. This study examined perspectives on 21st-century principalship preparation, analyzed the impact of the training and development program, and identified the key components of the program. The principal shortage continues to be a well-documented national concern, as higher turnover rates for principals serving urban public school districts have emerged. The following research questions guided this phenomenological study: (a) How do participants who are currently principals perceive that the Secondary Principal Internship Program (SPIP) has prepared them to meet the complex demands of the 21st-century pincipalship? (b) How do SPIP participants perceive the program prepared them to be instructional leaders? (c) How do the SPIP participants perceive the theoretical frameworks used in the program assisted them in being a 21st-century principal? (d) How do SPIP participants perceive the program prepared them to be transformational leaders? (e) Do the SPIP participants perceive that the program will result in greater principal retention or longevity? The research questions were explored through in-depth semi-structured face-to-face interviews. Five key themes emerged from coding and analysis of the interview data and are offered as findings in this study: (a) school administrator cohorts of learning, (b) principal preparation seminars, (c) teamwork in principal development, (d) mentorship, and (e) the practicum experience. Three recommendations for enhancing the secondary principal training and development program were identified from findings and conclusions: (a) include more research-based learning into SPIP seminars, (b) the SPIP should be a mandatory requirement for aspiring secondary principals, and (c) the practicum experience should be extended. This research can support essential understanding regarding the professional development needed for aspiring principals in the 21st century and assist with data and valuable information addressing the nationwide principal shortage.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Preparing Principals for a Changing World provides a hands-on resource for creating and implementing effective policies and programs for developing expert school leaders. Written by acclaimed author and educator Linda Darling-Hammond and experts Debra Meyerson, Michelle LaPointe, and Margaret Terry Orr, this important book examines the characteristics of successful educational leadership programs and offers concrete recommendations to improve programs nationwide. In a study funded by the Wallace Foundation, Darling-Hammond and the team examined eight exemplary principal development programs, as well as state policies and principals' experiences across the country. Using the data from the study, they reveal how successful programs are structured, the skills and knowledge participants gain, and what they are able to do in practice as school leaders as a result. What do these exemplary programs have in common? Aggressive recruitment; close ties with schools in the community; on-the-ground training under the wing of expert principals, and a strong emphasis on the cutting-edge theories of instructional and transformational leadership. In addition to highlighting the programs' similarities, the study also explains the differences among the programs and sheds light on the effectiveness of approaches and models from different states and contexts?East, West, North, and South; urban and rural; pre-service and in-service. The authors analyze program outcomes for principals and their schools, including illustrative case studies and educators' voices on the influence of programs' strategies for recruitment, internships, mentoring, and coursework. The ideas and suggestions outlined in Preparing Principals for a Changing World are presented with the goal of increasing the number of highly qualified, thoughtful, and innovative educational leaders.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an overview of the internship as a central ingredient of effective preservice programs. Intended for those who are involved in the preparation of school administrators, the text emphasizes that preservice programs must ensure that interns will learn the skills that will make them effective leaders. The book is designed to address the issues and practice of internships so as to provide a meaningful model for prospective educational leaders. The text is divided into 10 chapters. Chapters 1, 2, and 3 relate to organizing and designing a learning encounter that focuses on a realistic set of goals. They provide information that will help the university, internship site (local school system), and intern to form a bond, thus enabling the partners to function as a minicohort. Chapters 4 and 5 discuss the specific traits that interns need to extend and enhance during their internship experience so that they may increase the quality of life in the organizations they will eventually lead. Chapters 6, 7, and 8 describe the specific roles that the university mentor, field mentor, and intern must enact during the internship, whereas the last two chapters provide examples of how to evaluate and assess the internship and the university experience.
