A survey instrument was designed and administered to two cohorts of aspiring administrators in one university’s administrative preparation program to answer these questions. Overall, we found that recent interns indicated they had been well prepared to lead managerial tasks during their practicum experiences and that interns were increasingly seeing leadership of instructional activities and staff development. This finding runs counter to previous research conducted on interns’ experiences leading instructional activities. Study respondents also highlighted the mentor/intern relationship as a key factor influencing the aspiring administrator’s opportunity for leadership experience during the internship.  \nNCPEA Education Leadership Review, Vol. 17, No. 1– May, 2016  \nISSN: 1532-0723 © 2016 National Council of Professors of Educational Administration  \nIntroduction  \nDespite the crucial nature of the education administration internship, there is much disparity both between and within states as to the requirements, implementation, and evaluation of the internship experience for students (Author, 2012; Orr, 2011; Perez, Uline, Johnson, James-Ward,& Basom, 2011) . Research suggests full-time practicums, in which aspiring educational leaders are relieved of classroom responsibilities, are most likely to provide interns with the leadership experiences needed to assume an administrative position (Lovely, 2004; Norris, Barnett, Basom & Yerkes, 2002; SREB, 2005; Wallace, 2010) . Unfortunately, many aspiring leaders do not have the resources to cede a teaching position to engage in a full-time administrative internship.  \nAs a result, to complete required administrative hours, many aspiring administrators participate in summer internship experiences or engage in a mixture of activities that are administrative in nature during planning time and before and after school. The quality of these experiences, as well as the degree to which interns are provided with opportunities to assume leadership during these types of administrative practicums, greatly varies. Aspiring administrators often lack the opportunity to engage in active and direct leadership opportunities, instead focusing on passive, observational opportunities (Fry, Bottoms, & O’Neill, 2005) . Fry et al. (2005) also found that internships are generally not structured to provide the continuum of observing, participating in, and leading activities that develop aspiring principals’ abilities to improve schools and increase student achievement, two primary responsibilities of principals in the area of instructional leadership. Yet, mounting research points to the critical role of the school principal in improving instruction (Leithwood, Louis, Anderson, & Wahlstrom, 2004; Marzano, Waters, & McNulty, 2005) .  \nIn addition to the challenge of ensuring that administrative interns assume leadership roles in part-time administrative preparation programs, aspiring administrators must also gain experience in the wide range of activities for which school leaders are asked to assume responsibility. Principals are expected to be instructional leaders, regularly observing class","cbCaiullhqOnvhLE","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiullhqOnvhLE","pdf",2082015,26,"English","# Introduction\n## Purpose of the Study\n## Study Context and Background\n## Leadership Expectations for School Administrators","[{\"question\":\"What was the study’s purpose regarding administrative internships?\",\"answer\":\"The study sought to understand how often administrative interns get opportunities to lead, what kinds of administrative experiences interns have, and the value of the internship for aspiring administrators.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the research conducted?\",\"answer\":\"A survey instrument was designed and administered to two cohorts of aspiring administrators within one university’s administrative preparation program.\"},{\"question\":\"What factors influenced interns’ opportunities for leadership?\",\"answer\":\"Respondents highlighted the mentor/intern relationship as a key factor shaping the aspiring administrator’s leadership opportunity during the internship.\"}]","Learning from Graduates and Interns - Examining Graduate and Student Experiences in the Education Administration Internship - May, 2016 | PDF",1792093347,66]
