Educational Leadership

Here are a few things to consider:

a. How is educational leadership different from other forms of organizational leadership; i.e., how is it different from educational management, educational administration, instructional leadership, public administration, business leadership, and leadership in not-for-profit organizations? In other words, what is unique about educational leadership; what sets it apart from these other fields of study? (Hints: What are the core processes of education? What special knowledge is involved in the management and leadership of schools?)

b. Which of the many leadership theories are most useful for informing our understanding of educational leadership?

c. Does educational leadership encompass leadership in higher education as well as in K-12 education?

d. What is the genesis of educational leadership, and what are the shaping forces since that time?

e. How has educational leadership developed over time to reach the current stage of development?

f. How are educational leaders prepared for their roles?

General Issues

The first segment of this article reads as though it were copied and pasted from someone's graduate-level paper on educational leadership—and not a particularly good one, at that. It requires massive work to remove its bias toward positivist/accountability/hyperrationalist conceptions of both education and leadership. I will begin the process of editing this.

Large removal

Removed text

I removed the following addition from the article:

"The current paradigm of thinking stresses the Management as a science. So the application of its empiricism have been initiated in the field of education also. This gave birth to a new field called the Educational Management (EM). The EM is a one emerging area in the pedogical research by which one can estimate the outputs and problems of the system of education. For instance, the position of NIEPA and the SIEMATs in Indian education plays the role of Research Organisations in the field of Management in the broader level and Educational Planning and Administration in the field level."

It seems to be talking about the field of educational leadership in India, but I can't figure out what it's trying to say well enough to incorporate it into the article, and it may be too specific for a general article like this one. --Robth^Talk 12:44, 8 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

ErikHaugen (talk | contribs) 04:30, 8 March 2011 (UTC) The current name of this page is generic (to the point of being vague) and somewhat obsolete. This new title is the term used by graduate schools offer degrees (M.A, PhD) in this subject area.--Makavey (talk) 19:43, 28 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
