In 2007, educational leadership programs in Florida were notified by Florida's Department of Education of a law requiring all programs to align with new legislation, State Rule 6A-5.081. Previously, most state-approved preparation programs were based on Florida's Leadership Preparation Standards, a version of the 1996 Interstate School Leadership Licensure Consortium (ISLLC) standards; the new law was based on 132 new skills and competencies that were not clearly linked to ISLLC. This article examines faculty response at one university to the mandate, the processes faculty used to redesign the program, and the composition and structure of the redesigned educational leadership preparation program.
