A Survey of Educational Leadership Doctoral Programs: Preliminary findings presented

Joan Buttram recently presented preliminary findings from a study of doctoral educational leadership programs in the US at the 2011 Annual Conference of the University Council for Educational Administration in Pittsburgh, PA.

 She is leading a study that surveys over 100 Ph.D. and Ed.D. programs to gather descriptive information. Results will help faculty and administrators learn about the variety of programs currently available and identify variables that merit additional investigation. The goal of the study is the development of an evaluation schema for leadership preparation programs to explore their effects and outcomes.
