The purpose of this study was to analyze development program for elementary school principals in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. A sequential explanatory design was used in this study, by combining both qualitative and quantitative research methods. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, direct observations, and documentation. The Interactive Analysis Model was used in data analysis. The results showed that the current development program for elementary school principals involved the making of regulations, setting up of standards, providing block grants, and improving professionalism. The success of a development program was influenced by the performance of the education office, school super-visor and principal's positive response, financial support, and fulfillment of minimum service standards in school programs. However, some factors contribute to limitation of success such as complexity of school administration, bureaucracy, demands for compliance with the National Education Standards, lack in principal's performance monitoring, and interpersonal relationships between the principals and school supervisors. © 2018 Library of the University of Arizona.
