Self Perceptions of Standards Acquisition during the Principal Internship, 12(5)

Abstract

The intent of this study is to learn about principal intern perceptions of their grasp of the identified state principal standards for Colorado. A non-experimental comparative approach was used for this inquiry. Interns were trained to use an online journaling process called Journey Mapping. On a six point scale they rated themselves on their knowledge of the state standards. This was done throughout the academic year of the principal internship. Scores were analyzed initially, midway, and finally. Participants indicated an equal amount of learning for each of the intervals and showed significant growth. There was not a statistically significant difference between male and female participants or varying levels of years of experience.
