- Title
School District Support Structures: A Mixed Methods Study of the Leadership Development of Pre-Service School Librarians.

- Abstract
School librarians are frequently encouraged to be leaders. However, few studies examine how pre-service school librarians can be prepared to be leaders during their librarianship degree programs. Using a mixed-methods research design and Transformational Leadership theory as a theoretical framework, the researcher studied how school district support structures provided for pre-service school librarians enrolled in a distance learning program impacted their self-perceived leadership behaviors. Results indicate that support structures such as cohorts and mentors are effective ways for developing the transformational leadership skills of pre-service school librarians.
