Abstract

Divergent thinking exists among educators regarding the need for teaching experience or the amount of administrative training necessary at the elementary school level as a prerequisite for the elementary school principalship. Even among elementary school principals there is disagreement as to the importance placed on teaching experience or administrative training, as many principals feel on-the-job experience is the most significant factor in developing qualities of a successful administrator. This study examines the value of elementary principals place on teaching experience, on-the-job experience, and educational training.
