Guiding Questions:
Guidelines for Leadership Education Programs is here! We invite
you to download the final document and join us on
ILASpace to continue to
explore these issues. The ILA wishes to thank the many volunteers who
contributed to this document including the more than thirty five members of the
learning community, led by Steve Ritch. The learning community and the ILA hope
you find Guiding Questions useful in helping to guide design and
assessment of your program.
Guiding Questions:
Guidelines for Leadership Education Programs and the Guidelines for
Leadership Education Programs Learning Community (GLEP/LC) are volunteer
projects that are rooted in discussions and presentations dating back to the
International Leadership Association’s annual conference in Seattle in 2002.
Discussions and further exploration of the topic occurred over the next four
years at ILA conferences and a special roundtable forum held at Regent
University during which the following benefits and aims of this document were
declared:
-
Create frameworks to articulate both the essential nature
and distinctiveness of individual leadership programs.
-
Address issues of legitimacy both internal and external to
academia.
-
Serve as a resource for new and developing programs.
-
Serve as a reference for programs responding to accrediting
processes.
-
Maintain an internal locus of control and creativity for
individual programs.
As work continued on the document, the group, led by Steve Ritch, applied to the
ILA to become the first formal ILA Learning Community in April 2007. Conceived
as temporary, lasting only as long as they serve the members, Learning
Communities provide opportunities for groups of members to organize around areas
of passion and questions that are most critical to their work in the field of
leadership.
The first face-to-face meeting of the Guidelines for Leadership Education
Programs Learning Community at the 2007 ILA Vancouver Conference resulted in
significant refinement of the guiding questions. The second face-to-face meeting
of the GLEP/LC at the 2008 Los Angeles Conference further refined the final
writing and editing tasks. Guiding
Questions: Guidelines for Leadership Education Programs is the result of
this progression of volunteer work.
