Developing Educational Leaders: A Working Model, the Learning Community in Action (Legal History of North America)

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.
