It is critical that educator preparation programs lead in current and future needs of schools. Two institutions of higher education asked the questions in order to define the roles and responsibilities of school leaders and to explore the issues in preparing leaders for the work. To identify the impact of educational leadership programs on the preparation of educational leaders and its impact on districts and schools, a five-year study was conducted and included leadership candidates and graduates from two leadership programs at two universities in the State of Georgia. There were 1500 graduates and candidates presently in the programs who were invited to participate in the study. The research provides quantitative and qualitative data about the leadership graduates and the leadership candidates presently in the programs. It provides information about the employment of graduates in leadership roles in schools and school districts. The data provides quantitative and qualitative data on the graduates’ dispositions about their leadership training and their perceptions about the knowledge, skills, and dispositions essential for the new and developing trends in leadership
