A case study evaluation of the individual or instructional leadership component of the Clinical Strand of the Illinois Administrators' academy during its first year of implementation, 1988-1989

The Illinois state legislature passed an extensive educational reform bill in 1985, resulting in many innovative programs to promote quality in education. One of these new programs, the Clinical Strand, the fourth component of the Administrators' Academy, provides participating principals a confidential, on-site assessment of their instructional leadership skills, conducted by an experienced administrator, who received special training and is called a leadership analyst. This study examines the strengths and weaknesses of the Clinical Strand during its first year of implementation, as perceived by the participating principals and leadership analysts, along with a determination of whether or not the program's goals have been met.
