The AITSL Studies

AITSL commissioned two reports on principal preparation and professional development. One, by Learning First (Jensen et al. 2015), provided a review of programmes, in education and other fields, national and international, and was explicitly framed by the Professional Standard for Principals. The other (Watterston, 2015) provided a systematic review of programmes in Australia. The following is a summary of findings and recommendations.

AITSL commissioned Learning First to report on the preparation of aspiring principals (Jensen et al., 2015). Programmes were described and analysed in a framework of the Australian Professional Standard for Principals. A broad perspective was adopted, with information gathered from a range of national and international sources, in education and in other fields. Practice in education included approaches in Austria, Canada, England, the United States, New Zealand and Singapore. Practice in a range of Executive MBA programmes in different countries was also summarised as well as approaches in the military. The report explicitly acknowledged the changing role of the principal, particularly under conditions of decentralisation and professional autonomy.

According to Jensen et al. (2015, pp. 3–4), the following need to be addressed in the design of preparation programmes:1.Leadership development is an ongoing process, and a principal preparation programme is just one component.
