Summary: Those of us who were educated and trained as school administrators two or three decades ago recall sitting through classes at the university every week, where professors delivered three-hour lectures. There were no on-line classes, no communication by e-mail, no chat rooms or discussion boards, and an advisor was difficult to even locate. In a large university with tens of thousands of students and instructors, I felt isolated. It was difficult for me to consider using anyone at the university as a mentor or sounding-board, which is really what I needed after I completed my program and began working as a new principal.
