The purpose of this study was to determine if |
|
administrative aspirants from preparation programs, |
|
experienced school administrators, and groups of |
|
individuals with no connection to education would perform |
|
differently on a short vignette discontinued by the |
|
Educational Testing Service (ETS) but still used as a |
|
sample of the assessment in the School Leaders Licensure |
|
Assessment (SLLA). The SLLA is used by an increasing |
|
number of states as a determinant of initial eligibility |
|
for a state certificate in educational administration. |
|
Six subject groups participated: (1) educational |
|
leadership graduate students; (2) Leadership Academy |
|
participants (graduate students); (3) school |
|
superintendents; (4) Army National Guard members; (5) |
|
business students; and (6) graduate psychology students. |
|
In all there were 53 educators and 56 noneducators. |
|
Findings do not indicate that the SLLA stamps a person as |
|
administrative material, in that a number of successful |
|
school superintendents performed poorly. The test did |
|
discriminate well between those who understood the |
|
Interstate School Leaders' Licensure Consortium (ISLLC) |
|
standards and those who did not, and this is the stated |
|
purpose of the assessment. To do well on the SLLA, the |
|
respondent needed to know something about the ISLLC |
|
standards. Whether the SLLA serves the states that use it |
|
is a question requiring further study; findings do |
|
suggest that a state that adopts the SLLA as a screen for |
|
administrators may be narrowing its pool of |
|
administrators. (Contains 1 table and 16 references.) |
