An Historical Analysis of the Chicago Public Schools Policy on the Requirements for the Selection of Principals, 1983-2008

<p>This historical analysis provided an opportunity to appreciate Chicago's course in</p><p>the national school reform landscape. This study helped to understand the effects school</p><p>reform efforts had on school leadership policy in Chicago. It verified a roster of</p><p>superintendents in Chicago during 1983-2008, established a chronology of school reform</p><p>events and assembled an inventory of reform policies, theories and directives that</p><p>potentially may create the capacity to instruct and inform future initiatives, perspective</p><p>and debate on the issue of principal preparation at the local level. The analysis of change</p><p>in local policy echoed and identified national educational trends in this time period.</p>
