Abstract
This study describes the design and delivery of a five-day experiential leadership institute of a K-12 principal certificate program redesigned to meet new state standards and researchrecommendations using Kegan's (1982, 1994) constructive developmental theory and Heifetz's(1994, 2009) adaptive leadership theory. The study investigates ten students' experience andlearning in this adaptation of case-in-point methodology. The study found that studentsdemonstrated shifts in their perspectives on self, leadership and organizations as systems.Students showed variations in the complexity of these perspective shifts with some havingmicro-developmental characteristics. Case-in-point teaching in the institute supported growth incomplexity of perspective taking through an iterative process of reflection and encounters withdifferent points of view on personal leadership failures. Adult development framing gavestudents a linguistic support to articulate their experience and learning in case-in-point teaching.Implications for principal preparation and developmental research on leadership education arediscussed.
