Abstract

Preparing future leaders has become the mantra of education reform by which the school leaders are more likely achieve school growth and student achievement improvement (Andrews, & Soder, 1987; Greb, 2011). In 2015 report, the UCEA explored the state by state principal preparation policies. UCEA report showed two groups (7 states with high leverage policies and 11 states with low leverage policies). The emphasis of this study was to address the statistical differences between the principal preparation programs in both groups. MANOVA has been employed to analyze the data. The results of the analyses guided us to conclude that there are significant differences between the two groups in terms of the admission and the internship for the preparation programs.
