Canada's Outstanding Principals: a Mixed-methods Investigation of Leadership Development, Principal Efficacy, and Transformational Leadership John Scott Lowrey

This book describes how Canada?s Outstanding Principals (COP) processes enhanced the leadership capacities of COP recipients over and above an existing skill set, and how COP, as a leadership development program, strengthened the relationship between transformational leadership and principal efficacy. An exploratory analysis of collective principal efficacy is also presented. Concurrent, equal status mixed-methods were applied. Data were generated from two sources: online survey (including demographic items, rating scales, and open-ended questions), and telephone interviews. Insights from all ten provinces and three territories is represented in the data. Recommendations for system leaders, program developers, and policymakers are made.
