Leadership Issues and Challenges


Some of the most significant challenges the program faces in working with aspiring principals include:

  • A lack of instructional knowledge that severely limits the potential of the person to provide instructional leadership to the teachers they will supervise;
  • Many aspiring principals certified in administration have had an ineffective practicum experience, most notably one that was too-brief and was including mentoring by an ineffective principal;
  • Districts do not have clarity in expectations in the areas that guide the curriculum.
