Harvey  \nLamar University  \nMichael Schwanenberger  \nNorthern Arizona University  \nJimmy Creel  \nLamar University  \nEducator preparation programs for school district leaders are encouraged to review internship topics and activities for relevance in today’s changing educational climate and programing. The National Educational Leadership Preparation (NELP) standards are research-based standards that have been approved to assist advanced programs at the master, specialist, and doctoral levels in the preparation of district leaders (National Policy Board for Educational Administration, 2018). In this study, students nearing completion and recent completers in two leadership preparation programs, one in Texas and one in Arizona, were asked to complete a survey seeking their perceptions of topics and/or experiences included in their internship program. Survey items included two questions associated with each of the first seven NELP standards for district leadership. The results of the survey provided meaningful feedback for educator preparation program improvement and insight to the challenges facing current district leaders. Findings and conclusions identified in this study may be helpful to district level educator preparation programs seeking field experience information associated with Leadership Training K-12.  \nICPEL Education Leadership Review, Vol. 21, No. 1– December, 2020 ISSN: 1532-0723 © 2020 International Council of Professors of Educational Leadership  \nClear and consistent leadership standards assist all educational stakeholders in understanding the expectations for campus and district leadership in providing for the academic success and personal well-being of every student (Canole & Young, 2013) . The first set of national standards for educational leaders was adopted by the National Policy Board of Educational Administration (NPBEA) in 1996 and revised in 2008 and 2015. These standards were created to guide states in developing policies for expectations and evaluation of school and district administrators. The 2015 revision was named the Professional Standards for Educational Leaders (PSEL) . Three years after each revision, key professional educational leadership organizations collaboratively develop and adopt standards for university and other preparation programs. This set of standards was renamed the National Education Leadership Preparation (NELP) Standards in 2018 to guide program design, accreditation review, and state program approval (NPBEA, 2018) . The PSEL standards provide broadly stated performance expectations for beginning level building and district leaders whereas the NELP standards were developed specifically with the principalship and superintendent position in mind (NELP Companion Guide, 2018) .  \nNELP standard 8 stipulates that preparation programs require students to serve in an internship and incorporate the content of the first seven standards with the supervision of knowledgeable, expert practitioners, by engaging candidates in multiple and diverse school settings, and providing candidates with coherent, authentic, and sustained opportunities to synthesize and apply knowledge and skills identified in NELP standards 1-7 (NPBEA, 2018) .  \nPurpose of the Study and Research Questions  \nThe purpose of this study was to explore the perceptions of superintendent certification program candidates in two university preparation programs concerning internship activities associated with the NELP Standards in order to improve their programs. Program improvement based on candidate feedback is an important element for professors of educational leadership programs in designing content that promotes continuous improvement and complies with requirements found in NELP Standard 8.
