Mapping the Terrain of 'Alternative' Leadership Education: Lessons for Universities
Phi Delta Kappan, Vol. 87, No. 07 (March 2006): 500-507.
Lee Teitel
Leadership preparation programs sponsored by districts, foundations, and non-profits are challenging the monopoly that universities have had on preparing principals and superintendents. The article describes the innovative strategies these alternative programs use for recruiting, screening, preparing, and supporting skilled and committed school leaders, and suggests that universities need to think differently about how we view our own programs: thinking about our program participants as investments, holding ourselves accountable for their success, and partnering with other stakeholders in a larger leadership preparation system. It suggests the time is ripe for getting the resources needed for dramatically improving university leadership preparation programs.
