For decades, urban school reform has been a persistent issue. Research suggests that urban school reforms that connect equitably to broader community improvement efforts are more sustainable and that principals play a pivotal role in leading such efforts. Although the role of the school principal is a front-line leader charged with the execution of policy and legislation, the experience of principal leadership is an area of limited research particularly how the creative leadership of the school principal connects with school transformational improvement efforts. The purpose of this research was to explore and describe the experiences of urban principals, particularly their roles, responsibilities and leadership styles within an era of accountability of student performance outcomes as measured in state test scores. Central to the study was the principal narrations of their experiences as they navigated between policy compliance and creative leadership through the specific context of the Cleveland Plan implementation. In this study, creative leadership is defined as a multi-dimensional and transformational in its integration of distributed, authentic, and adaptive in its response to complex urban environments. It involves a view towards change that steps outside of the existing practices through collaborative, distributed, and authentic leadership to strategically move through a problem-solving framework (Puccio, Mance, & Murdock, 2011). Using a case study design, the research focused on the principal leadership skill set as narrated by principals within a context of a specific period of school reform beginning when the Cleveland Plan was legislated as H.B. 525 in 2012 through 2019 and the issuance of the last full year state report card. Data collection involved semi-structured interviews with principals of the Cleveland Metropolitan School District. The research sought to both expand the study of school administration and leadership in new directions and to contribute to the base of research using the actual experiences of urban principals.

At the beginning of the 21st century, school accountability initiatives have become more evident than ever. As such, principals must be poised with competencies to ensure educational goals and outcomes are met. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between principal competence and valued educational goals and objectives. The study is a quantitative correlational design with a sample of 4,273 urban principals from National Center for Education Statistics data emanating from a sampling frame of 82,802 traditional public school principals, and utilizing a stratified probability sampling research design. The Public Schools Principal Questionnaire (1993--94) was used to gather information on key study variables. The questionnaire consisted of dichotomous, structured, semi-structured and Likert scale questions. The following statistical tests were used: descriptive statistics, chi-square, crosstabulation, Pearson's Product Moment Correlation Coefficient, and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). Statistically significant results were revealed between principalship competence (e.g. degree, certification, educational leadership, educational administration, etc.); principalship demographics (e.g., race, gender, degree, locale, etc.) and educational goals and outcomes (e.g., school governance, teacher professional development, principal professional development, best practices, etc.) necessary for urban principals. Urban principals have definite perceptions about school governance specific to students, stakeholder influence, teacher and principal professional development, and best practices. The implications of the findings suggest that greater attention be given to the relationship of urban principal competence and valued educational goals and outcomes. With new and stringent accountability systems, principals will be required to take an active role in the management of instruction, curriculum, and assessment at their schools. Urban principals must engage in meaningful professional development to ensure optimal educational management, while ensuring teachers are held responsible for changing instructional activities and raising expectations for achievement regardless of the school's locale or the student's background. There is a need for urban principals to focus on the process of organizational change with a focus on increased collaboration with parents to improve student achievement. Further, urban principals are challenged to determine what actions are required to facilitate the transition of their schools into professional learning communities. The study has significant implications for principal preparation programs as to the qualities necessary for potential or practicing urban principals. Programs must consider the delicate balance between competencies expected, skills taught, as well as, dispositions of the potential or practicing urban administrators. The findings and implications for practice are critical for both pre-service and in-service development of administrators. Recommendations for future studies suggest research be conducted to: examine results verifying improved student achievement in the State of Maryland and Baltimore City in particular; determine specific principal professional development experiences or training that can be attributed to increased competencies for principals specific to student achievement; determine how principalship competencies of urban principals differ from that of other locales, and to what degree current principal preparation schools and the associated competencies are congruent with ISLLC standards and the degree these competencies translate to performance based systems. -- Abstract.
