| Summary: | The Florida Legislature mandated that all school districts shall implement a New Principals Program for training prospective new principals. For the 1986-87 school year this program was implemented in 44 of the 67 school districts in the State of Florida. The primary purpose of this study was to examine the perceptions of the interim principals, assistant principal/intern principals and intern principals concerning the effectiveness of the three components of the Florida New Principals Program. The Florida Council on Educational Management (FCEM) developed Guidelines for the selection, training and performance appraisal components. Also examined were differences in perceptions concerning the effectiveness of the New Principals Program in relation to the demographic data of the three participant groups. Data was obtained from 276 New Principals Program participants. One hundred nine interim principals, 128 assistant principal/intern principals and 39 intern principals were sent a Florida New Principals Program Participant Questionnaire. Using a Likert scale, participants indicated their perceptions of program experiences. There were statistically significant differences (p <.05) between the interim principals and the assistant principal/intern principals groups and between the intern principals and the assistant principal/intern principals groups for all three program components. The interim principals and intern principals groups reported more positive perceptions than did the assistant principal/intern principals group. A t-test indicated a significant difference (p <.01) between the male and female interim principals' perceptions of the selection procedures component. There was no significant difference between male and female assistant principal/intern principals' or intern principals' perceptions of this component. No other significant interaction was detected between the race or number of years as a school administrator and the training or performance appraisal component. Further review of participants' responses indicated that selection procedures and training activities were implemented more often than the appraisal performance process. A review of the comments, and recommendations from the program participants has been included, as well as overall conclusions and recommendations for program improvement and further research. | |
