The quality of Illinois schools and the performance of their principals play significant roles in determining the future for children. Their success hinges on recognition that principals play a critical role in shaping the environments in which children learn. Illinois schools can and will be enriched by developing a principal pipeline system that responds to the current and future needs of the schools and students. For nearly a decade, stakeholders throughout Illinois have engaged in work to strengthen principal preparation and development. Efforts to reform the preparation of school leaders began with the Illinois Commission on Principal Preparation (2006), which led to recommendations made by the Illinois Taskforce on School Leadership (2008), and culminating with legislative changes through Illinois Public Act 096-0903. This report presents data on the Type 75 certificate, which qualifies educators for a variety of administrative positions (principal, assistant principal, department chair, athletic director, special education director, etc.).
