چکیده (انگلیسی):

This is the second part of a study conducted by Barton and Cox (2012) investigating administrative
credential candidates’ pre and post self-assessment results. Candidates who successfully complete
principal preparation programs should possess the requisite knowledge and skills to assume leadership
positions in P-12 schools. This study was designed to assess self-reported growth in knowledge of effective
school leader practices connected to the California Professional Standards for Educational Leaders
(CPSELs). A total of 82 candidates participated. Results indicated significant differences in pre and post
knowledge disaggregated by CPSEL, total years of professional experience, and degree of change.
Included are implications and future plans to improve the assessment of candidates based on these results.
