This is a detailed description of an assessment that can be used in a graduate level of study in the area of the school principalship. This has been approved by NCATE as meeting all of the stipulated ELCC standards for which it is designed (ELCC/NCATE 1.1; 1.2; 1.3; 1.4; 1.5; 2.1; 2.2; 2.3, 2.4, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 6.1,6.2,6.3) This course of study is appropriate for use in either a school leadership class or one specifically oriented to the study of being a school principal. This assessment is both skills and knowledge focused. The assessment measures the student’s ability to think critically and requires students to synthesize prior learning from readings, class discussion and research on the principalship. Finally, the assessment provides students the opportunity to apply what the students have learned about leaders that enable them to develop a positive culture and climate, while applying this learning to a real world situation the student is familiar with.
