UCEA Task Force
 


 

 


In 2001 an informal work group formed at UCEA to explore the evaluation needs and priorities of the leadership preparation field. Out of this work group formed a national taskforce co-sponsored by the UCEA Executive Committee and the Learning and Teaching in Educational Leadership-SIG (formerly the TEA-SIG) of the American Educational Research Association.  The taskforce established three purposes:

  1. to conduct comparative evaluation of evaluate leadership preparation programsˇ¦ impact on their graduates and the PreK ˇV 12 schools that they lead;
  2. to develop research designs, methods, and instruments that can be replicated and refined through study in multiple institutions and settings to facilitate on-going knowledge development on leadership preparation both nationally and internationally; and
  3. to engage the leadership preparation field more broadly in the individual and comparative study of their programsˇ¦ effectiveness and impact.

Since its beginning, the Taskforce has made significant progress on all three goals, generating significant research findings, methodology and instrumentation and greatly broadening the participation of researchers and evaluators in the study of leadership preparation and its effectiveness. The Taskforce meets semi-annually at UCEA and AERA for working sessions on methodology and research findings, and supporting new initiatives and emerging scholars. It remains a voluntary group, representing public and private higher education institutions nationwide.
