A school principal's job has never been tougher. The accountability movement--culminating with the federal No Child Left Behind law in 2001--has put pressure on principals to improve student performance, resulting in school leaders' transitioning from a more administrative role to becoming more heavily involved in assessment, instruction, curriculum and data analysis. Are today's leadership programs in graduate schools of education adequately readying new principals to handle these seemingly ever-increasing responsibilities? According to a 2006 survey by Public Agenda, a nonprofit research organization that reports public opinion and public policy issues, nearly two-thirds of principals felt that typical graduate leadership programs "are out of touch" with today's realities. The good news is that a host of principal leadership development programs are aiming to fill the gap, striving to ensure that new and veteran principals are better prepared for today's challenges. This article discusses such programs that can be offered by the state, district, or an outside organization, and they can focus on everything from emotional intelligence issues and classroom walkthroughs to data analysis and team building.
