District Leader Internship

Reviews / Votes

"The authors present a meaning-making approach to building one's own leadership capacity. It isn't a culminating internship experience as much as it is an experiential approach to a lifetime of learning about educational leadership."

-From the Foreword by Dr. Jim Berry, Executive Director of the International Council of Professors of Educational Leadership (ICPEL)

"This book is an important contribution to our field in that it shares a process for planning, designing, implementing, and assessing a district leader internship based on research-based dispositions, skills, and practices. University faculty advisors and internship coordinators will find this guide useful for designing the district internship and for ideas for tracking and demonstrating learning. Typically, this process is at the discretion of the university, and designing and supervising the internship has clear outcomes but a nebulous process, so this guide will be essential for supporting faculty newly designing or redesigning the district internship."

--Review in Teachers College Record by Erin Anderson, Associate Professor of Educational Leadership and Policy Studies, the University of Denver
