This book was released on 2010-03 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the study was to identify the basis of the aspiring principal preparation program (APPP) components Florida school districts provide to their aspiring principals and their relationship, if any, to the state and ISLLC Standards. A total of 50 school districts in Florida participated in this study. The research was guided by the following questions: To what extent do the Florida school districts provide a formal APPP to their current assistant principals? (b) Upon what are the formal APPPs for current assistant principals based: the Florida Principal Competencies (FPCs), the Interstate School Leaders Licensure Consortium (ISLLC) Standards, or another source? (c) To what extent do the school district APPPs in the 67 Florida districts have component requirements that include professional development, mentoring, and a performance-based experience? and (d) Are there differences among the APPP components provided by Florida school districts of various sizes? The findings of the study were found through an examination of quantitative and qualitative data that were collected from the Florida Aspiring Principal Program Assessment (FLAPPA) survey and the school districts' APPP brochures located on their websites. This study supported the following conclusions: (a) 75% of the school districts in Florida do provide an APPP for their aspiring principals, (b) the FPCs and the ISLLC Standards are a part of the bases of the components found in APPPs provided by Florida school districts, (c) Florida school districts do provide APPPs that include components of a mentor principal, a performance-based experience, and professional development, (d) very large-sized school districts with a population over 100 thousand students contained the largest percentage of standards-based components in the APPP; small-sized school districts with a population of under 7 thousand students contained the least percentage of standards-based components in the APPP, (e) school districts in Florida recognized the need to modify and were in the process of modifying their APPPs according to the new Florida leadership standards, especially the component of technology, and (f) a lack of funding, time, and assessment were identified as APPP weaknesses and components in need of improvement. Recommendations of this study included: (a) further research on Florida school districts redesign of their APPP components to identify whether or not the components are based upon the new Florida Leadership Standards, especially technology; and the ISLLC educational standards; and (b) further research on Florida school districts providing a mentor principal and support team; professional development, and a performance-based experience to their current assistant principals who participate in an APPP, thus ensuring best practices in the APPP and improving the quality of their future principals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to measure the extent to which school leaders who completed the preparing new principals program in School District A perceived the program's effectiveness in preparing them to demonstrate Florida's principal leadership standards as adopted in November 2011. This study also identified the components of the preparing new principals program that influenced the professional practice of the program completers in their current leadership roles within School District A. This study was conducted at the request of the professional development services designee in School District A and is a companion study to research conducted by Eddie Ruiz and Wesley Trimble. The Preparing New Principals Program Completer Survey was sent to 90 administrators in School District A who completed the preparing new principals program between 2008 and 2011. Follow-up interviews were conducted with six volunteers in order to further clarify responses to the survey and to gather additional input from program completers. Survey results as well as interview data were analyzed in order to give the professional development services designee information for designing a new principal preparation program for School District A.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study sought to determine to what extend completers of School District A's Preparing New Principals Program (PNPP) are prepared to meet the 2011 Florida Principal Leadership Standards (FPLS). Major questions addressed (a) the perception of principals regarding how well prepared completers of School District A's principal preparation program were to meet the 2011 Florida Principal Leadership Standards, (b) if the perceived importance of the 2011 Florida Leadership Standards varied by leadership level, (c) if the perceived importance of the 2011 Florida Leadership Standards varied by a school's free/reduced lunch percentage, and (d) the 2011 Florida Principal Leadership Standards perceived as the most beneficial to increasing student achievement. This mixed method study employed an online survey. The participants in this study included 46 supervising principals of Preparing New Principals Program completers from an urban school district in central Florida. Findings indicated that principals believed that Preparing New Principals Program completers were prepared to meet the 2011 Florida Principal Leadership Standards. Principals also believed that the following experiences would enhance the program: (a) more meaningful experiences that require participants to solve identified deficiencies, (b) an 18 to 24 month principal internship as opposed to the current eight-week principal internship, and (c) differentiating principal preparation based on participants' experiences and school district needs.

Book Synopsis Florida's Principals' Perceptions of Their Principal Preparation Program by : Justin Faulkner
Download or read book Florida's Principals' Perceptions of Their Principal Preparation Program written by Justin Faulkner and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2020, the National Association of Secondary School Principals revealed that a staggering 42 percent of principals plan on leaving the profession and that compounds the already alarming rate of teachers leaving the field (National Association of Secondary School Principals, 2020). More locally in Florida, the landscape of educational leadership has changed quickly also adding to this problematic exodus of principals. In order to better understand the principal experience in Florida, particularly with principal preparation, this study seeks to understand how principal preparation, specifically Level II certification preparation, influences efficacy once at the helm of a school. This research uses a modified version of Megan Tschannen-Moran's Principal Sense of Efficacy Scale survey to gauge the perceptions of current principals to inform practice of preparation for leaders of tomorrow. Results reveal that descriptive statistics provided valuable insights into how principals across Florida perceive the impact of their preparation program on their effectiveness. Notably, the utilization of independent-samples t-tests uncovered a significant correlation between gender, particularly female gender, and principal perception. However, when examining the relationship between race and years of service through one-way ANOVA statistics, no significant connections were found, suggesting that these factors did not strongly influence principal perception of their preparation. In a conclusive manner, regression analysis indicated that gender, race, and years of service did not serve as significant influencers on principals' perceptions of their preparation program's efficacy impact. Overall, findings from this study indicate additional research is needed to better understand how efficacy can increase in not just all principals as the result of preparation but also specifically with female principals. Research consistently indicates that principals have the second greatest impact on student outcomes, just behind teachers. When Florida principals express only moderate confidence in their leadership abilities, it raises concerns about their performance in schools. This gap between theoretical knowledge and practical implementation negatively affects students, who deserve better. To address this issue, more attention should be given to developing robust preparation programs that are meaningful and impactful in shaping and sustaining effective principals. By doing so, we can ensure that students receive the best possible educational leadership and support for their academic journey.
Book Synopsis The Importance of Principal Preparation Programs to Increase Student Achievement by : Theresa M. Campos
Download or read book The Importance of Principal Preparation Programs to Increase Student Achievement written by Theresa M. Campos and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an era of rigorous accountability for student achievement, the manner in which principals are prepared is subject to increasing scrutiny. Principals' preparation programs often fail to select individuals with the ideals and beliefs to drive urgent change efforts and lead school turnaround. Current curricula lack rigor and collaborative efforts are not aligned with what districts desire - bold principal leadership. This qualitative phenomenological study involved a focus group of elementary principals from a large urban Gulf Coast district whose schools had at least one sub-group that was rated academically unacceptable. As a result of this study, an analysis of principals' perceptions revealed that several gaps exist in principal preparation programs. The principals' responses revealed what they perceive is lacking and what is needed for principals to cease the momentum of school failure, systematically rid schools of the toxicity of ineffective practices and achieve increased student achievement.

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.

This study was also conducted to identify the Florida Principal Leadership Standards that senior-level school district administrators identified as the most beneficial to future principals in improving student achievement despite increased accountability within the state. A group of 40 senior-level school district administrators who served on the superintendent's cabinet between 2008 and 2011 were sent a perceptual survey regarding the Preparing New Principals Program and the Florida Principal Leadership Standards. Survey participants had the opportunity to voluntarily participate in a structured interview to obtain further information regarding the survey. All data from the surveys and interviews were studied and disseminated to the district for redesigning the school district's principal preparation program.
Book Synopsis A Contextual Examination of Mississippi's Principal Preparation Programs and Their Impact on Student Achievement by : Wilner Bolden III
Download or read book A Contextual Examination of Mississippi's Principal Preparation Programs and Their Impact on Student Achievement written by Wilner Bolden III and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Principal preparation programs have faced increased scrutiny concerning their effectiveness in preparing K-12 administrators (Bennet, Gooden, Lindauer, & Petrie, 2001). Due to consistently stagnant academic performance of schools across the nation and reported shortages of quality school leaders, principals have been pushed front and center as the targeted school leader responsible for school failure. Because principals received their preparation from either a traditional or alternate route principal program, there is a need to re-exam the effectiveness of these programs to enhance principal practice and principal performance. The purpose of this quantitative study, A Contextual Examination of Mississippi's Principal Preparation Programs and their Impact on Student Achievement, is to determine whether a difference exist between Mississippi's traditional and alternate route principal preparation programs. The study also determines if there is a difference between Mississippi's eight principal preparation programs and student achievement. Mississippi's principal preparation programs include the following: Delta State University; Jackson State University; Mississippi College, Mississippi State University; The University of Mississippi; University of Southern Mississippi; William Carey University; and the Mississippi Alternate Path to Quality School Leaders. The 384 principals in the study are graduates of Mississippi's principal preparation programs who served three consecutive years as a principal during the 2010-2011 to 2012-2013 school years. Using an independent t-test, the study finds no significant difference in student achievement scores of traditional and alternate route principal preparation programs. Using an ANOVA, the study finds significant differences that exist between the eight Mississippi's principal preparation programs. Providing that the results are based on principal preparation programs and student achievement, the following recommendations are put forward: 1) Examine the alignment between the types of principal preparation program as it relates to rural and urban populations served; 2) Establish professional learning communities of faculty in principal preparation programs to identify collective practices best serve the needs of school districts; 3) Revisit the mission of principal preparation programs to determine if and how student achievement gets integrated within the delivery of the curriculum; and 4) Explore the covariant factors of how student socioeconomic status, parental involvement, and years of experience as a school leader affects leadership performance. The study concludes with a newly proposed conceptual framework in which further research would expose in greater details the impact principal preparation programs have on student achievement.
