Preparing the next generation of principals

Project team:

The South Australian Secondary Principals' Association (SASPA) has received Research and Development funding from Principals Australia Research Foundation Limited (PARF). The research aims to provide information about the principal 'pipeline' that will inform SASPA programmes and policy recommendations. Its objectives are to:

  1. Produce evidence about the career intentions of middle (Coordinators) and senior leaders (Assistant and Deputy principals)
  2. Document the existing and desirable formal and informal support for potential principals and
  3. Map promising practices and develop recommendations for the association, schools and the SA public education system.
