School Leader Internship Developing, Monitoring, and Evaluating Your Leadership Experience

Abstract

The authors of School Leader Internship: Developing, Monitoring, and Evaluating Your Leadership Experience, 4th Edition, have written a book that addresses the need of leadership programs to meet not only accreditation standards at the national and state levels, but also the real and practical needs of aspiring school leaders as they prepare for positions as school administrators. The internship is the last safe place to try out the professional duties, roles, and responsibilities that were presented in class as theories or were promoted at a conference as the next big thing to improve learning. Framing the internship experience around the knowledge, skills, and dispositions that encompass this book completes the training phase of preparation and begins the transition to a school leadership role. School Leader Internship: Developing, Monitoring, and Evaluating Your Leadership Experience, 4th Edition, presents information that the school leader needs to learn, consider, and perform in order to complete this transition.
