Hello all,
Early next year I'm planning to evaluate a training for school principals. I will collect data from school principals with experience (what that entails is to be defined, but they should be in the field for X amount of years), who have been in that program. I'm currently thinking of a questionnaire (big sample), followed by interviews with some interesting individuals (also to be defined). At the moment I'm not sure yet how I would do that or what specifically I would ask, so any ideas are welcome. If you think of something else than a questionnaire or an interview, please do share. I am wide open to suggestions.
I think you need to have specific questions that will help you get the informations you need to.
I was just thinking if I got you right you want to evaluate a training for school principals. Surely the training is already happening and has specific objectives. So you will need a survey where you can assess first the quality of the training, whether the objectives were met and if the participants (principals) are able to easily apply what to learnt. Did the training improved their skills or leadership some how?
This might not be very helpful, but perhaps you can track down the research by Robert Sternberg on practical knowledge & expertise. This might be a good place to start because it also involves an training study: doi:10.1016/j.lindif.2009.07.001
Hi I think that if you ask him for a short essay about his leadership perspective and how a leader can effectively influence his environment, it would help you greatly to clarify the profile of the person you are looking for.
