| Abstract | This publication presents findings of a study that explored the professional needs of principals at various stages in their careers. Data were collected from several sources: two focus groups of Texas principals; a regional survey of 97 principals; an analysis of the professional development plans of five Texas rural school principals and six headteachers of primary schools in London, England; interviews with six teachers in an alternative administration certification program at Texas A&M University; and individual interviews with five additional principals. The data identified three factors of principals' professional development needs--school context, length of tenure in the position, and previous experience in schools and other organizations. The paper describes modes of growth and adaptation that principals experience throughout their careers and lives. It reviews the National Policy Board for Educational Administration's (NPBEA's) 21 performance domains and describes principals' professional development needs at various points in their career. The following recommendations are offered: (1) comprehensive preservice preparation must be provided for the principal; (2) new principals must be given comprehensive support on the job; (3) collegial support networks and appropriate growth activities should be provided for all principals; (4) principals should engage in reflective practice throughout their careers; (5) principals must learn to be learners; (6) development and growth activities should be systematically provided for assistant principals; and (8) collaboration must be developed among the primary stakeholders in the preparation of principals.
