Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine whether or not a district-led, grow-your-own leadership seminar had a significant impact on the dispositions of its members compared to staff members who did not participate in the program. The participants involved (N = 20) included a naturally formed group of certified staff members (n = 10) who attended and completed a nine-month, district-led, grow-your-own leadership seminar and a demographically-matched, randomly selected group of certified staff members (n = 10) who did not attend or complete the leadership seminar. The dependent variable used in this study was the Administrator Disposition Index (ADI), a 36-item, five-point Likert survey aligned with the Interstate School Leaders Licensure Consortium (ISLLC) Standards. The survey consists of a 17-item student-centered subscale and a 19-item community-centered subscale. The findings of this study indicate that the implementation of a district-led leadership program had a statistically significant impact on the ADI community subscale and the ADI composite score of those who participated in the leadership seminar.
