Description
In Developing Educational Leaders, the authors present their groundbreaking work with learning communities in educational leadership preparation programs, resulting in a working model for leadership development. In a readable text with practical hands-on examples, this volume: - Bridges the gap between theories of learning communities and their application in university settings. - Contrasts the differences between settings that merely lend the appearance of a learning community and a true learning community. - Brings together the individual and community benefits that result from the learning community setting. - Demonstrates how values-based leadership can be developed and implemented. - Provides a conceptual framework, including guidelines for using cohort structures within educational administration programs.
