Book Description
The purpose of the study was to identify the basis of the aspiring principal preparation program (APPP) components Florida school districts provide to their aspiring principals and their relationship, if any, to the state and ISLLC Standards. A total of 50 school districts in Florida participated in this study. The research was guided by the following questions: To what extent do the Florida school districts provide a formal APPP to their current assistant principals? (b) Upon what are the formal APPPs for current assistant principals based: the Florida Principal Competencies (FPCs), the Interstate School Leaders Licensure Consortium (ISLLC) Standards, or another source? (c) To what extent do the school district APPPs in the 67 Florida districts have component requirements that include professional development, mentoring, and a performance-based experience? and (d) Are there differences among the APPP components provided by Florida school districts of various sizes? The findings of the study were found through an examination of quantitative and qualitative data that were collected from the Florida Aspiring Principal Program Assessment (FLAPPA) survey and the school districts' APPP brochures located on their websites. This study supported the following conclusions: (a) 75% of the school districts in Florida do provide an APPP for their aspiring principals, (b) the FPCs and the ISLLC Standards are a part of the bases of the components found in APPPs provided by Florida school districts, (c) Florida school districts do provide APPPs that include components of a mentor principal, a performance-based experience, and professional development, (d) very large-sized school districts with a population over 100 thousand students contained the largest percentage of standards-based components in the APPP; small-sized school districts with a population of under 7 thousand students contained the least percentage of standards-based components in the APPP, (e) school districts in Florida recognized the need to modify and were in the process of modifying their APPPs according to the new Florida leadership standards, especially the component of technology, and (f) a lack of funding, time, and assessment were identified as APPP weaknesses and components in need of improvement. Recommendations of this study included: (a) further research on Florida school districts redesign of their APPP components to identify whether or not the components are based upon the new Florida Leadership Standards, especially technology; and the ISLLC educational standards; and (b) further research on Florida school districts providing a mentor principal and support team; professional development, and a performance-based experience to their current assistant principals who participate in an APPP, thus ensuring best practices in the APPP and improving the quality of their future principals.

Book Description
ABSTRACT: Florida, along with the entire United States, is facing a critical teacher shortage. The need to attract and retain qualified, motivated teachers is imperative if the education system is to continue to deliver quality instruction to all children. Studies (Jones & Hodgson, 1998; Kinman, 2001; Travers & Cooper, 1991) show that teaching is a high-stress occupation with teachers reporting the lowest levels of job satisfaction compared to many other occupations. Teachers report high levels of depression and anxiety, and are in poorer mental health in comparison to other occupational groups. Allowing teachers to be leaders within the education community may facilitate increased job satisfaction and therefore attract and retain the best people. My study investigated the extent to which middle school teachers participate in leadership roles and how such participation affects individual job satisfaction. I examined personal demographics and school demographics, and the interaction of these variables with leadership and job satisfaction.

Book Description
The two areas that were the least satisfying for responding principals were the facets of Pay and Opportunities for Promotion where a majority expressed feelings of ambiguity or dissatisfaction. In an analysis of the impact of school grades (A, B, or C), there was not a significant relationship between the grade received by the school and principal satisfaction on either the JDI or the JIG.

Book Description
Results of this study found the majority of the respondents were Caucasian (84.0 percent), male (56.9 percent), between 41 and 50 years of age (41.7 percent), and held a master's degree (64.7 percent) or doctorate (27.5 percent). Thirty-six percent (36.0 percent) of the respondents reported working as a middle school principal for 4 to 7 years, with 1 to 3 of those years in their current school (44.0 percent). Statistical analysis of the relationship between measures of organizational climate and measures of job satisfaction revealed that middle school principals in Central Florida rated their overall mean satisfaction with their position and the district generally high (above 3.8). Data analysis revealed that the statistically significant climate variables leading to job satisfaction were: professional effectiveness, relationship with subordinates, peers, and supervisors, and participation with decision making. Only assignment of a mentor was found to be a statistically significant predictor for Central Florida middle school principals' ratings of importance with position characteristics.
