This study asks, what knowledge matters most to on-the job school administrators? This article is a report of an investigation into what practicing leaders in Florida believe they must know and be capable of in order to effectively perform their role. The focus is relevant to the preparation of principals and to best practices that can advance the profession of educational administration. Reflecting an unusual approach to empirical study, this study initiates conversation about establishing a knowledge base for principals and professors by exploring leadership as actually practiced in schools and by turning to novice administrators for feedback. For the purposes of this research, new administrator/leader was defined as assistant principals and principals who have been working in their school-based positions for up to 2 years.

School Boards desiring to avoid the requirements of the Equal Access Act (EAA) to prevent students from organizing Gay-Straight Alliance (GSA) clubs within their schools may have difficulty doing so.
