InSights - Environmental Scan: Principal Preparation Programs

This report is an environmental scan of principal preparation in 2015. Its purpose is to identify the types of school principal preparation programs being delivered across Australia by providers in the government, Catholic and independent school sectors, as well as by providers in the higher education sector and other areas. It describes where the programs are being delivered and how they are responding to the strategic imperative to develop future school leaders. The report draws on interviews with program providers and representatives from national school principal and leadership associations. It also examines feedback from program participants and relevant data and research about programs.
