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
The leadership team for each section has developed suggested
topics for the section. If you are interested in contributing to these
guidelines by writing an article for one of the sections,
please visit our
online WIKI and contact the section leader.
