Abstract
The process of training and preparing principals is driven by a characteristics model. Underlying each of the components in the characteristics model is decision making. Decision making defines the work of principals. Those who prepare principals can improve the leadership quality of principals and thereby impact school effectiveness by focusing on decision making. Decision-making assessment is a critical component to principal preparation and ongoing development. It can be used to assess the quality of decisions made by prospective and acting school administrations. Through decision-making assessment principals can become aware of their cognitive decision-making patterns thus allowing them opportunity to replace potentially dysfunctional patterns with patterns that are more effective and efficient.
