Abstract

In this research, the authors describe one principal preparation program's approach to continuous improvement through accreditation processes. The framework for this research was based upon the Leadership-Focused Coaching (LFC) model (Gray, 2016) and a clinical approach to expand and improve an online educational leadership program by using data collected at course and program level. The faculty worked collaboratively to review the following data: certification exam results, as well as survey data from current students, supervising administrators, recent graduates, alumni, and employers. Valuable feedback were gathered and reviewed from the department's advisory council, accrediting state and national organizations, and program curriculum reviews of courses at an annual data retreat and monthly meetings. Finally, the research describes a model that other principal preparation faculty could consider as they work to improve their programs.
