Abstract

This study describes the landscape of school leadership preparation programs in the United States, including pathways to the principalship (master’s, certification, educational specialist) and the delivery modes for each pathway (face-to-face, fully online, hybrid). First, data was collected from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data on the number of degrees and certificates awarded by every postsecondary institution receiving U.S. federal student aid from 2013 to 2018. Then program websites were searched and coded by two independent coders. All discrepancies were resolved; the final dataset was analyzed using measures of central tendency. This study found that master’s programs were the most common route to the principalship, and there were more than double the number of master’s offerings than certification and more than double as many certification offerings than educational specialist. The most common delivery modes across each pathway were, from most prevalent to least: face-to-face, fully online, and hybrid. Ten states had an offering in every pathway and modality, but no individual university offered every pathway and modality. Twenty-one states had one or more universities that offered all pathways but not all modalities. Implications are that program faculty informed decisions about what pathways and modalities to offer, these data allow for sampling techniques that can help researchers conduct more inferential studies to measure the impact of leadership preparation on school outcomes, and these data allow for research that differs by pathway, providing a more nuanced understanding of preparation. Finally, this study serves as a call for a centralized database for tracking SLPP data.

国家现状:以大学为基础的校长路径景观
本研究描述了美国学校领导准备项目的概况,包括通往校长职位的途径(硕士、认证、教育专家)和每个途径的交付模式(面对面、完全在线、混合)。首先,从综合高等教育数据中收集了2013年至2018年接受美国联邦学生资助的每所高等教育机构颁发的学位和证书数量的数据。然后由两个独立的编码员对节目网站进行搜索和编码。所有的分歧都解决了;最后的数据集是用集中趋势来分析的。这项研究发现,硕士课程是通往校长职位的最常见途径,硕士课程的数量是认证课程的两倍多,认证课程的数量是教育专家课程的两倍多。从最普遍到最不普遍,每种途径中最常见的交付模式依次是:面对面、完全在线和混合模式。10个州提供所有途径和模式,但没有一所大学提供所有途径和模式。21个州有一所或多所大学提供所有途径,但不是所有模式。这些数据允许抽样技术,可以帮助研究人员进行更多的推论研究,以衡量领导力准备对学校成果的影响,这些数据允许不同途径的研究,提供更细致入微的准备理解。最后,本研究呼吁建立一个集中的数据库来跟踪SLPP数据。
