Abstract
Since the dawn of the effective school's movement in the early 1980s, stakeholders have sought to isolate those factors that account for effective schools. Much of the study efforts have recognized the critical roles of the principal, but have not taken into account myriads of factors and conditions that make any principal effective. This study examined what role adult education plays in principal training by investigating whether there is a statistically significant difference in perceived effectiveness between certified and noncertified principals in Manitoba. It also compared the principals' self-perception effectiveness and the teaching staffs' perceptions of their principals' effectiveness. Ancillary investigations attempted to isolate factors that might be significant predictors of principal effectiveness.
