Description
LIKE FREDERICK HESS (SEE "LIFTING THE BARRIER," PAGE 12), I BELIEVE that the nation's graduate schools of education have largely failed to develop the kinds of leaders needed in K-12 education. However, I fear that his solution--virtually abandoning licensure--would return the process of appointing principals in public schools to the highly politicized state that once prevailed. My ideal alternative would be to replace the current licensure system with one based on performance. Instead of taking a prescribed set of university-based courses in school administration to obtain a license, aspiring principals would run schools on a trial basis under close supervision and be subject to a high-quality assessment of their performance. Those who made the grade would receive licenses. Under a performance-based licensing regime, other providers, such as school districts, states, nonprofit organizations, and for-profit companies, could compete against universities for the opportunity to offer training that would help candidates earn their licenses.
