Ever since the origin of public education, stakeholders have scrutinized the institution of education and its leaders in some form or fashion. This holds true today. With the publication of A Nation at Risk in 1983, the prominent standards based education movement was ushered in. This resulted in standards for students, teachers, and principals. The Interstate School Leaders Licensure Consortium (ISLLC) Standards, published by the Council of Chief State School Officials (CCSSO) in 1996, provided a template that many state departments of education and local school districts, along with colleges and universities, used to develop principal preparation programs and to develop evaluation tools for school leaders. In addition, these standards have been utilized to evaluate the work of many educational leaders. The state of Georgia utilized the ISLLC Standards in the development of 21^st century principal preparation programs. The purpose of this research was to ascertain how relevant the ISLLC Standards were and to what extent the standards were utilized in developing educational leaders in Georgia. This research replicated the study conducted by Dr. J. Michel Morrow in 2003 in which his purpose was to ascertain the relevancy of the ISLLC Standards and to the extent to which the standards were utilized in developing educational leaders in his home state of Illinois. This research was designed to provide opportunities for continued research of the ISLLC Standards and the relevancy of the standards in principal preparation programs throughout the country.
