Program Development Trends and Issues: The Cleveland Leadership Academy.
Crisci, Pat Eva; Tutela, Alfred D.
This paper focuses on public school program development to correct the effects of segregation. It suggests concrete measures and plans for the Cleveland Leadership Academy, which is designed to enhance instruction and access. Cleveland City School District's Remedial Order is a court-approved blueprint for desegregation that mandated management and leadership training for all school district staff, including staff administrators, supervisors, and principals. Five developmental programs promote the administrative leadership of both practicing and prospective administrators: (1) the Administrator Preparation Program provides comprehensive training for personnel who are seeking administrative promotional opportunities; (2) the Administrator Renewal Program furnishes specific leadership and management skills; (3) the Administrator Retraining Program addresses the needs of administrative underachievers; (4) the Future Leaders Preparation Program identifies and encourages potential leaders to pursue comprehensive training; and (5) the New Administrator Program focuses on furnishing immediate and consistent support to "new" administrators. Support components complement the five training programs by providing leadership assessment capabilities; by promoting personal and organizational growth; by focusing on clinical supervision/instruction; and by incorporating a variety of unique postsecondary courses that address the theoretical aspects of public school management. Among the academy's accomplishments is the successful implementation of "effective schools" research, which provides the conceptual and contextual impetus for the development and implementation of the academy's programs and its related components.
