Educational Leadership Programs for Principal and Superintendent Certification: A Scoping Review

Abstract
As post-secondary institutions in Alberta undertake the process of developing educational leadership programs for principals and superintendents that enable them to apply for certification, questions arise about the characteristics of such programs within the province, across the country and around the world. This scoping review describes educational leadership programs from a range of post-secondary institutions in Canada, US, Singapore, UK, Australia and New Zealand. The relationship between local certification requirements and program offerings is explored, trends and commonalities are identified, and unique approaches are highlighted. Faculties designing leadership programs leading to certification may find value in the implications resulting from this review.
