- Abstract
We examined the perceptions of graduates of two school management training programmes in two universities (N = 33) with regard to the competencies acquired during the training and those which needed to be further developed. The participants answered a questionnaire entitled Principals' Acquired Competencies and Those to be Acquired, drawn from the competencies that compose the current leadership standard for principals in Québec, Canada. Our results reveal that the respondents considered that the competencies to be acquired were of a higher order than were those acquired during the School Management graduate programme in terms of knowledge, know-how, and know-how-to-be. The study also shows that despite their satisfaction with the training they received, the participants voiced that the skills they acquired must be not only developed but also supported throughout their entire career. Results are discussed in light of the competencies which should be added to the professional requirements dictating current training practices and standards.
