- Summary:
-
This document seeks to define the kinds of administrators who will be needed to ensure first-rate elementary and middle schools in the next century. Underlying the report is the belief that present principal preparation programs are inadequate and require overhauling. Chapters 1 and 2 focus on demographic changes, effective schools, and the nature of effective school leadership. Guiding assumptions about the roles and responsibilities of tomorrow's principals and recommendations for principal preparation are offered in chapters 3, 4, and 5. Chapter 6 recommends that policymakers at the state and national levels fully support educational reform funding and school-based management initiatives, including but not limited to quality control for principal preparation and continuing professional development of principals. In conclusion, it is recommended that effective recruitment efforts be immediately launched to attract potential principals from the best and brightest teachers, that these aspiring administrators be enabled to develop proficiencies that will help them to deal with the pedagogical problems of the 1990s, and that programs be provided that allow practicing principals--those now in the schools--to refine existing proficiencies and develop new ones. Fundamental to these recommendations are the notions that principals should understand the nature of instruction within a particular environment and have substantive classroom experience. (JAM)
