School Leadership Review
This qualitative case study explores the impact of job-embedded principal preparation residency programs through the lens of a school district’s administrator. The school-university partnership provided an innovative way to prepare aspiring school leaders. The job-embedded structure provided an authentic, contextual base experience where aspiring principals served as interns over a 15-month period in their current school district. The praxis of the study positions principal interns to impact teacher growth and improve student achievement during their job-embedded placement. Overall, the school district invested in its own teachers and are now leading their campuses in a principalship role.

Increasing Principal Candidates’ Self-Efficacy Through Virtual Coaching, Travis E. Lewis, Karen D. Jones
Journal of Organizational & Educational Leadership
Skill development in instructional coaching and feedback is difficult to adequately simulate within a principal preparation program. As a result, many new administrators enter the field with little to no experience in instructional coaching and, therefore, feel tremendous uncertainty and low self-confidence. This study explored the effect a virtual coaching experience has on self-efficacy for principal preparation program students. Preservice teacher candidates were matched with principal candidates to provide virtual instructional coaching to the benefit of all involved. The findings of this study indicate that practice through virtual coaching is positively related to increased self-efficacy in principal candidates.
