About this title

Synopsis

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 where students acquire the dispositions, knowledge, and performance skills needed to be effective leaders.
• 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.
