Principals Excellence Program | University of Kentucky and Pike County Public Schools
Theory of Change
PEP was designed on the premise that becoming a principal requires more than simply completing preservice preparation. Making the career change from teacher to administrator is an intricate process of personal and professional transformation that can often take considerable time and support by others. To achieve the desired goal and objectives, the program designers selected socialization into the community of administrative practice as the theory of change for PEP. Four theories of action (i.e., situated learning, leadership mentoring, community building, succession planning) were used to develop curricula, learning activities, and performance assessments and to guide the formative and summative evaluations required by the external funding source (US Department of Education).
