This paper deals with an attempt by the Indiana University of Pennsylvania (IUP) to strive for excellence in education via a collaborative approach to administrator preparation. The approach utilizes professionals from both the university community and the local education agency in forming a training team to prepare preservice supervisors and administrators. The training of preservice vocational administrators at IUP represents a shift from the traditional format to one that is competency-based and field experienced. Appended are several aspects of the Indiana University of Pennsylvania Vocational Leadership Program: (1) the responsibilities and duties of those responsible for the program; (2) an overview of the salient features of the program; (3) the required competencies; (4) the competency guide sheet; and (5) a staff questionnaire.
