The superintendent of the Bibb County, Georgia, Public School System devised a program to develop a cadre of competent administrators to assume leadership positions as they became vacant. The Leadership Development Program took 18 classroom teachers with administrative aspirations and provided them with a variety of experiences under the guidance of carefully selected local school leaders. The primary activities included extended interaction with the superintendent and his staff, with the program's university coordinator, with the supervising administrators to whom the interns were assigned, and among the interns as a group. In addition, the interns took courses from the University of Georgia. The program completed its initial year of operation in June 1987, producing 18 leaders who are familiar with the leadership philosophy of the district and who have demonstrated leadership skills in the work setting.
