The Paired Administrator Team Concept: A Promising Administrator Training Model.

This report describes an administrator training program model in which a district-selected trainee and a practicing school administrator in an extern-intern approach work closely with the university and the local school system. Under this system, a trainee would enter a planned administrator training program at an approved institution of higher education that would tailor a joint program to include both the trainee and the practicing administrator. The projected program includes (1) a summer session on campus for both trainee and administrator, (2) a full-time fall quarter for the trainee, (3) a winter quarter for the practicing administrator on campus, while the trainee fills in for him, and (5) an elective summer session for one or for both.
