  In Roundtable Session: 14.044-9 - Leadership Development Across the Leadership Pipeline

Abstract

With the mixed methodology, this study was to investigate what duties assistant principals perceive they should perform in their workplace to qualify themselves for the role of principals, and the potentials and urgency of being mentored by their principals.
The study finding indicated that assistant principals viewed their daily work as being insufficient for preparing them to become effective school leaders. The assistant principals eagerly looked for a mentoring relationship with their principals.
