  • Effects of Business Management Training on the Leadership Skills of Florida Educators in Urban Schools Dillon M. Williams, Ed.D.

    Pro Quest Central, Ann Arbor, MI

    Urban Florida school principals’ failure to meet one or more of the 10 state-mandated Florida Principal Leadership Standards (FPLS) was identified as a potential cause for a lack of students’ academic achievement.

    Urban Florida school principals’ failure to meet one or more of the 10 state-mandated Florida Principal Leadership Standards (FPLS) was identified as a potential cause for a lack of students’ academic achievement. The purpose of the study was to determine the effects of business management training on the leadership skills of Florida educators in urban schools. The perceptions of the efficacy of Master of Science (MS) programs to prepare urban Florida school principals to meet the statutory requirements of The Florida Principal Leadership Standards were also examined. The theoretical framework for this descriptive quantitative study was based on the Skills-based Leadership model developed by Mumford and his colleagues. Research questions examined participants’ perceptions of their MS program to meet each of the 10 Florida Principal Leadership Standards. The purposive study sample consisted of 30 urban Florida school principals who rated their MS program’s preparation to meet each FPLS using a Likert-type survey instrument. A one-sample Student’s t-test for mean differences indicated that participants found their MS program prepared them to meet each of the 10 FPLS at statistically significant levels at p < .05. Based on the study’s findings, the curricula of MS programs are adequate to prepare graduates to meet all 10 FPLS. Future research is needed to identify the root causes for urban school principals’ failure to meet the FPLS.
