Research
  1. Leading School Improvement - A Review of Literature (Southern Regional Education Board - Hoachlander, Alt, and Beltranena)
      This study asks what leaders need to know and do to improve student achievement. The authors of the study conclude that leadership skills can be learned and should be taught. Further, the authors conclude that leadership skills are acquired by experience, not through classroom instruction. The challenge is "designing strategies that harness how experience teaches." (pg. 3). However, "schools do not have internal plans for leadership development, they do not have systems for creating these plans, and they are not accountable for developing leaders from within." (pg. 9). 7-02
