Thirty-eight ILA members are currently working together to develop guidelines for post-secondary leadership education programs.

Understanding there is a breadth of knowledge and experience within the ILA membership, the LC is using a Wiki to collaboratively create an online handbook of resources that will be useful for anyone starting, re-organizing or evaluating a campus-based Leadership Education Program.

While this LC is new, the group has been working together for almost two years. A Learning Lab held at the Chicago 2006 ILA conference focused on identifying the questions essential to the development of leadership education programs at postsecondary institutions. The team decided to become a formal Learning Community with the goal of creating a handbook to address these questions.

The GLEP/LC Guidelines handbook will be organized into the following five sections:

  • Conceptual Framework: Clearly identify a leadership program’s conceptual framework, including underlying theories and philosophy, mission statement, goals and learning objectives

  • Teaching and Learning: Address the who, what, when, where, why, and how of teaching and learning

  • Context: Enable programs to understand the multiple sectors, audiences and disciplines that teach and practice leadership, and how these contexts affect the subject matter of the other sections in the guidelines

  • Content: Describe program content based on knowledge of the field, contexts and conceptual frameworks

  • Outcomes and Assessment: Identify outcomes of the program and appropriate processes for assessment
