Florida Atlantic University | 'Principal Preparation: A Roadmap for Reform' | Ep. 3

Florida Atlantic University’s Principal Preparation program undertook a complex redesign to better align the program with national and state standards as well as standards of the school districts that hire its graduates. In this video, Florida Atlantic University and its school district partners explain how they’ve worked together to prepare principals for the rigors of the job. The video highlights how they used the Quality Measures self-study toolkit to guide the redesign process. Their goal was to prepare school leaders who can lead change.

The video series is part of a major $47 million initiative at The Wallace Foundation to improve university training of future principals. The University Principal Preparation Initiative builds on 15 years of Wallace-supported research and experience about what makes for effective principals and their “pre-service” training at universities. The initiative seeks to explore how university programs can improve this training so it reflects the evidence on how best to prepare effective principals.
