ABSTRACT
This study examines the perceptions of three South Texas novice school principals. In this study, novice principal is defined as a principal or assistant principal who is within the first three years of his/her leadership assignment (Shoho & Barnett, 2010). First, the researchers examine the daily responsibilities of a novice school principal. Second, this inquiry relates to graduate students’ training prior to graduation from a principal preparation program. In that case, graduate students participated in this study by interviewing novice school principals to understand the expected behaviors, practices, and expectations of novice school principals.
