Schulte & Penny Kowal  \nUniversity of Nebraska at Omaha  \nAbstract: The purpose of this study was to validate the instrument, Administrator Dispositions Index (ADI), that measures the dispositions of effective school leaders. The ADI could be used to assess administrator candidate dispositions and to integrate dispositions of effective school leaders into the curricula of administrator preparation programs.  \nThe No Child Left Behind Actsigned into law in 2001 requires school districts to hire highly qualified school leaders who possess the necessary knowledge, skills, and dispositions to ensure that all children learn (Center on Education Policy, 2002). Administrator preparation programs have traditionally focused on developing candidates’knowledge and skills in areas such as law, finance, personnel, management, and evaluation (Daresh & Playko, 1992). Preparation in the traditional curricula is important, but research indicates that the development of the dispositions of effective school leaders ultimately may determine if candidates succeed as school leaders (Daresh & Playko, 1992; Morris, 1999). While there are tests and instruments available to measure candidates’knowl  \nVolume 17, Fall 2005 75  \nedge and skills in educational administration, a review of the literature failed to find an instrument that measures the dispositions of effective school leaders. The purpose of this study was to validate a quantitative instrument that measures the dispositions of effective school leaders.  \nDispositions Defined  \nDispositions have been defined as values, commitments, ethics, or beliefs that are internally held and externally exhibited (Cudahy, Finnan, Jaruszewicz, & McCarty, 2002). According to the Standards for Advanced Programs in Educational Leadership (National Policy Board for Educational Administration, 2002), school leaders should possess the necessary dispositionsto work effectively with students, families, and communities. Fullan (2002) refers to these dispositions as moral purpose, which is“social responsibility to others and the environment”(p. 17). Research suggests that several key dispositions of effective school leaders include caring for others, strength in making decisions and getting things done, fairness, being open to alternatives, and involving others (Wildy & Louden, 2000). As a start in the integration of dispositions into the curricula of administrator preparation programs, the dispositions of effective school leaders must be identified and aligned with professional standards (Council of Chief State School Officers, 2003; National Association of State Boards of Education, 1999).  \nProfessional Standards  \nThe Administrator Dispositions Index (ADI) was developed by aligning the ADI items with the dispositions of effective school leaders as specified under the Standards for Advanced Programs in Educational Leadership (Council of Chief State School Officers, 2003; National Policy Board for Educational Administration, 2002). The Standards include:  \n· Standard 1: Candidates who complete the program are educational leaders who have the knowledge and ability to promote the success of all students by facilitating the development, articulation, implementation, and stewardship of a school or district vision of learning supported by the school community.  \n· Standard 2: Candidates who complete the program are educational leaders who have the knowledge and ability to promote the success of all students by promoting a positive school culture, providing an effective instructional program, applying best practice to student learning, and designing comprehensive professional growth plans for staff.  \n76 Educational Leadership and Administration  \n· Standard 3: Candidates who complete the program are educational leaders who have the knowledge and ability to promote the success of all students by managing the organization, operations, and resources in away th","cbCaibGZYFTWnGdS","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibGZYFTWnGdS","pdf",36810,13,"English","# Abstract\n# Dispositions Defined\n# Professional Standards\n# Research Questions\n# Method\n## Item Development","[{\"question\":\"What is the main purpose of the Administrator Dispositions Index (ADI)?\",\"answer\":\"The study validates ADI as a quantitative instrument that measures the dispositions of effective school leaders.
