- Summary:
-
As more administrators retire, it becomes increasingly necessary to train competent individuals to assume educational leadership positions. Recognizing this need, the Chattanooga Public Schools established an administrator development program to assist in the further training of educational leaders. The program was conducted annually during 3 school-calendar years (1991-92, 1992-93, and 1993-94) and consisted of 12-15 weekly 2-hour sessions from November through March. Level I was designed for teachers holding administrative certification who were interested in becoming administrators, and Level II was designed to train principals, assistant principals, and system directors holding administrative certification who were interested in advancing at the administrative level. Findings show that during 1992-93 and 1993-94, women achieved the majority of the promotions. Caucasian women accounted for 44 percent of the promotions and African-American women accounted for 27 percent. Over all 3 years, women achieved 72.3 percent of the promotions. During the first 2 years, 40 percent of Level I participants were promoted. Fifty percent of Level II participants during the 1993-94 year were promoted to administrative positions as assistant principals, principals, or system directors. The district's principal-selection committee believes that participation in the administrator-preparation program better prepares people for participating in the micropolitical process of school administration, which involves conflict over resource allocation. More cooperation between school districts and institutions of higher education is needed to integrate preservice and inservice training for administrators. Four figures are included. Contains four references. (LMI)
