Weaver  \nNorthern Kentucky University  \nThe purpose of this study was to investigate the professional development needs of assistant principals in the northern Kentucky region in preparation for the launch of the Northern Kentucky Assistant Principals’ Network, a unique and innovative program to support their leadership development. Using the Educational Leadership Policy Standards: ISLLC 2008 as the framework for our study, survey data revealed professional development needs in all standards. Findings from the open-­‐ended question revealed professional development needs in specific areas such as school finance/budgeting, time management/work -­‐ life balance, school culture, instructional  \nleadership, and special education. This paper is intended to help guide the work of professors of educational leadership and those charged with supporting the ongoing development of assistant principals.  \nNCPEA Education Leadership Review, Vol. 15, No. 2– October 2014  \nISSN: 1532-0723 © 2014 National Council of Professors of Educational Administration  \nIntroduction  \nThe assistant principal lives with the knowledge that daily work will include problems that are never solved, work that is never complete, joys that are never noticed, and needs that are seldom acknowledged. Everyone needs to share the joys and grouse about the problems with others who understand.(Marshall, 1992, p. 99)  \nOver twenty years ago, Catherine Marshall (1992) wrote the first book focusing specifically on the position of the assistant principal, including the roles they play, the processes of their selection and socialization, and the problems and opportunities they encounter. In particular, the book drew attention to many of the unique issues facing assistant principals at that time: “the issue of the person in the entry-­‐level position, the ‘mop-­‐up’ nature of the tasks, dependency on the principal, and the particular ambiguities, especially in an era with reform called‘accountability,’ ‘teacher empowerment,’ and ‘school-­‐site management’” (Marshall, 1992, p. vii) . Ultimately, the book conveyed the need to better understand and improve the assistant principal’s role and imagines ways to reconceptualize school leadership.  \nWhile many of the issues that Marshall wrote about still hold true today, the job roles and expectations of current era assistant principals have added layers of stress and pressure related to countless national, state, and local mandates not present twenty years ago. Common core standards, new teacher and principal evaluation systems, high-­‐stakes student testing, school safety concerns, and the never-­‐ending list of unfunded “mandates” are but a few of such stresses that face current era school leaders. For example, the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB) has required schools to administer challenging annual state standardized tests to ensure that all students, regardless of poverty, race, ethnicity, disability, and limited English proficiency, make Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) in test scores. This year, the law requires that every child in grades 3-­‐8 must test “on” grade level in reading and mathematics. Schools that fail to make AYP will be subject to corrective action and/or restructuring.  \nAssistant principals can play a pivotal role in responding to the realities of current era school reform by taking a more central role in assuming some of these responsibilities (Barnett, Shoho, and Oleszewski, 2012) . Unfortunately, many assistant principals feel unprepared for their current role (Busch, MacNeil, & Baraniuk, 2012), thereby indicating a need for ","cbCaikZZ7O5vy2A4","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikZZ7O5vy2A4","pdf",517815,"English","# Introduction\n# Purpose\n# Framework","[{\"question\":\"What study purpose does the document describe?\",\"answer\":\"To investigate assistant principals’ professional development needs in northern Kentucky while preparing to initiate the Northern Kentucky Assistant Principals’ Network (APN).\"},{\"question\":\"Which framework guides the study?\",\"answer\":\"The Educational Leadership Policy Standards: ISLLC 2008 provides the framework for examining the needs.\"},{\"question\":\"What areas of professional development needs are identified in the findings?\",\"answer\":\"The document highlights needs in school finance/budgeting, time management/work-life balance, school culture, instructional leadership, and special education.\"}]","Learning To Lead - The Professional Development Needs Of Assistant Principals | PDF",1792093365,48]
