  abstract: Education has been undergoing a revolution calling for restructuring and much of the focus has been on school leaders. Leadership, particularly the leadership of the school principal has been identified as a key factor in school success. As expectations for public education have risen so have expectations for school principals. The purpose of this study was to determine the perceptions of Texas elementary school principals regarding competencies they considered most critical for successful job performance. The basic training model evaluated was the Texas LEAD Center Model as modified for the Professional Studies Doctoral Program at Texas A&M University. Survey research methodology was used to obtain accurate estimates about the population of interest. Systematic sampling procedures were used to select 400 Texas elementary school principals. A usable response rate of 82.1% was achieved. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS, 1993) was used to analyze the survey responses. This study was conducted simultaneously with three other studies researching the perceptions of Texas middle school principals, high school principals, and superintendents. This allowed for comparisons of the results. Texas elementary principals considered at least one competency in each of ten domains in the model as most critical for success in their role. A comparison of the results with the other three studies indicated that there was much homogeneity between the four administrative groups.
