Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 2000, Illinois has pursued an ambitious goal to strengthen principal preparation. This is a vital goal, as research has demonstrated that an effective principal is the key factor in improving schools and increasing student achievement. Through the work of numerous statewide committees and consortia, with funding support from several foundations, and with leadership at the state, regional, and institutional levels, this goal is coming to fruition in Illinois. The multiple recommendations that emerged from collaborative efforts over time prompted the passage in 2010 of Illinois Public Act 96-0903. The statute represents a substantial overhaul of leadership preparation requirements in Illinois and includes the following key elements: (1) A targeted principal endorsement, instead of a general administrative certificate; (2) Formal partnerships between principal preparation programs and school districts in the design, delivery, and continuous improvement process; (3) Selective admissions criteria for candidates in principal endorsement programs; (4) A P-12 licensure (adding Prekindergarten to the leadership training); (5) A performance-based internship with competency-based assessments; and (6) Collaborative support structure for candidates during their internship provided by both faculty supervisors and mentor principals. This paper provides substantial detail regarding the processes and mechanisms employed, the organizations involved in various collaborative efforts, and the recommendations that led to such transformative changes. Over the past several years, preparation programs have been engaged in redesign efforts based on the new licensure requirements. Currently, many are offering robust and innovative programs that provide a broad range of authentic leadership experiences for principal candidates. Illinois has been recognized nationally for the policy reforms that have led to these improvements. While still in the early phase of implementation, most recognize there is more work to be done. To that end, the newly convened Illinois School Leadership Advisory Council (ISLAC) will work to formulate a 5-year strategic plan, addressing outstanding implementation issues. The Council will work through five "study teams" to make recommendations regarding: (1) Network supports and resources; (2) Program cohesion and continuous improvement; (3) Quality assurance; (4) Regional and district partnerships, and (5) Training and support for mentors and supervisors. Once again, policy-makers, researchers, and practitioners from multiple stakeholder organizations will collaborate, as they have done so often and so well in the past, to continue the process of improving the capacity of principals to effectively lead schools. The following are appended: (1) Illinois Consortium for Education Leadership; (2) IL-SAELP Executive Committee; (3) IL-SAELP Consortium; (4) Commission on School Leader Preparation in Illinois; (5) Illinois School Leader Task Force; (6) Leadership to Integrate the Learning Continuum (LINC) Advisory Group; (7) School Leader Redesign Team Members; (8) Principal Preparation Steering Committee; (9) Illinois School Leader Advisory Council; and (10) Illinois Principal Preparation Redesign Timeline 2001-2014.
Download or read book Illinois Superintendents0 9 Perceptions of the Effectiveness of Their Superintendent Training written by Arthur J. Fessler and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This quantitative study, using survey research methods, examined whether Illinois public school superintendents perceived their superintendent preparation programs adequately prepared them for the superintendency. More specifically, the study examined superintendents0́9 perceptions about the relevance of educational leadership standards, which were developed from the Interstate School Leaders Licensure Consortium and Educational Leadership Constituents Council standards and Waters and Marzano leadership responsibilities and practices), if these standards were embedded in the respondents0́9 university-based leadership preparation programs, and the importance of the leadership standards to their positions. An online questionnaire was administered to Illinois public school superintendents who held their appointments during the 2009-2010 school year. A total of 314 of the 868 Illinois superintendents responded, for a 36.2% response rate. The findings revealed that over three-fourths (78%) of superintendents were satisfied with the training they received from their preparation programs. Respondents also indicated that their preparation programs, on average, provided a moderate degree of preparation with regard to the leadership standards. Respondents indicated the need for additional reform in preparation programs in order to remain current with superintendents0́9 changing roles and responsibilities. Respondents in this study recommended the following changes to strengthen superintendent preparation programs: (a) more focus on hands-on and practical experiences, such as internships; (b) more focus on fiscal, finance, and budget issues; (c) more instructors who are current, successful superintendents; (d) more training about politics and political culture; (e) mentor programs; and (f) information about building positive relationships with school boards. Responses also revealed the need to more fully incorporate school leadership standards in superintendent preparation program design. The mean emphasis ratings on the six standards were lower than the mean importance ratings across all 39 leadership items, indicating that the extent to which these standards were emphasized was lesser than the extent to which the respondents perceived that they were important. Furthermore, the amount of variability in the participants0́9 responses was greater for the emphasis items than the importance items, indicating that the participants were more similar in their beliefs of importance than they were relative to their actual experiences in their superintendent preparation. Additionally, female superintendents scored the importance of all six leadership standards higher than did male superintendents. Finally, respondents noted that a focus on instructional leadership was largely missing in most preparation programs. Respondents noted that only 38% of the questionnaire items related to instructional leadership practices were emphasized or highly emphasized in their superintendent preparation programs. However, respondents indicated that 87% of the items linked to instructional leadership were important or highly important to their practice. This finding is important due to recent education reforms mandating increased student achievement and the sanctioning school districts that do not meet yearly prescribed student achievement benchmarks.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The work of school leaders is critical in this era, and there is heightened attention on the roles of the leaders as linked to student achievement and school improvement; school culture and climate; and the variables that impact achievement, improvement, culture and climate. The demands on school leaders have significantly changed. About a decade ago, the Southern Educational Regional Board suggested that school leaders impact as much as twenty percent of the achievement in schools. A few years later, the potential impact of school leaders increased to twenty-five percent. Throughout the chapters, the reoccurring concepts regarding the work of leaders are discussed. The need for leaders to move student learning and to respond to changes in education and challenges are contributing factors to the development of the Professional Standards for Educational Leaders (PSEL). In chapter 1 and in other chapters throughout the book; the links and importance between educational leadership and student learning are made. The standards provide a framework of the knowledge and skills needed for school leaders to be prepared for the challenges.

Book excerpt: The quality of Illinois schools and the performance of their principals play significant roles in determining the future for children. Their success hinges on recognition that principals play a critical role in shaping the environments in which children learn. Illinois schools can and will be enriched by developing a principal pipeline system that responds to the current and future needs of the schools and students. For nearly a decade, stakeholders throughout Illinois have engaged in work to strengthen principal preparation and development. Efforts to reform the preparation of school leaders began with the Illinois Commission on Principal Preparation (2006), which led to recommendations made by the Illinois Taskforce on School Leadership (2008), and culminating with legislative changes through Illinois Public Act 096-0903. This report presents data on the Type 75 certificate, which qualifies educators for a variety of administrative positions (principal, assistant principal, department chair, athletic director, special education director, etc.).
