Abstract
Faculty at a medium sized pubic university in Ohio engaged in a participatory action research (PAR) to better understand how the characteristics of the online principal preparation program and the skills they acquire affect program candidates, individuals who are attracted to school leadership, using a two-phase data collection process in 2014-2015 and 2018-2019. The researchers discussed insights gleaned from principal candidates’ reflections about program course content and affiliated activities, mentoring and field experiences, the soundness and patterns of their in-house developed principal program comprehensive exam, and faculty reflections while participating in PAR.
