Making Time to Reflect Together on Preparation and Practice: Lessons Learned from Creating and Sustaining the Educational Leadership Professional Learning Alliance
Black, William R.; Haines, Joyce G.
International Journal of Educational Leadership Preparation, v13 n1 p121-141 Spr 2018
In this critical reflective manuscript, the authors share how a University-Based Educational Leadership Program created a professional learning alliance that seeks to create a network across educational leadership preparation and practice. A five-year old initiative, the Educational Leadership Professional Learning Alliance provides a platform for members to interact with each other about evolving leadership preparation needs, as well as provides a platform to organically respond to timely issues that are salient to leadership practice in a variety of roles in k-12 public schools. The alliance meetings have become space for members to find information and support, share challenges, celebrate successes, and enhance a network to promote public education. The authors describe how the initiative developed and sustained itself through mutually beneficial and timely topical discussions that reflect members' commitment to be responsive to a wide variety of personal and professional issues and concerns.
