The Journal of Research on Leadership Education Aims and Scope JRLE, an electronic peer-reviewed journal, sponsored by UCEA, provides an international venue for scholarship and discourse on the teaching and learning of leadership across the many disciplines that inform the field of educational leadership. To expand and provoke discourse, the editors publish work from a multidisciplinary community including sociology, philosophy, public administration, economics, and law. JRLE seeks rigorous scholarship on the teaching, learning, and assessing of leadership preparation and practice, spotlights research on the political and contextual issues that impact leadership education, and advances a diverse conversation about what leadership really mean. The editors strongly encourage co-authored, cross-disciplinary pieces and empirical work that:

• Establishes links between leadership education and student learning, specifically tracing the transfer from preparation to practice.
• Expands the knowledge base for evaluating leadership education.
• Examines the philosophical underpinnings of leadership education in multiple fields or diverse and global contexts.
• Compares and critiques administrative credentialing practice.
• Compares the ‘theories-in-use’ of leadership program framers, to the theories-in-use of program implementers.

Published quarterly with the sponsorship of the University Council for Educational Administration in cooperation with the department of Educational Leadership at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
