Building Leadership Effectiveness through Clinical Supervision
(Complete Item Description)
- Abstract:
After reading the report by the Mid-continent Research for Education and Learning (McREL) Balanced Leadership Framework (Waters, Marzano, & McNulty, 2003), we were struck by the fact that even small improvements in the leadership behaviors in principals can be directly correlated with improved student achievement. Because leadership preparation programs are expected to provide meaningful course and field experiences so that future leaders effectively promote the success of every child, we felt it important to test whether or not the clinical supervision experiences that leadership candidates were engaging in would be effective. To do so, we used specific leadership responsibilities identified in the Balanced Leadership Framework (BLF) and asked the candidates to tell us what they thought they had gained or not gained from the experiences. The BLF was chosen because each of the 21 leadership responsibilities is correlated with student achievement.
