Webinar: How School Districts Support Effective Leadership Practice

The University Council for Educational Administration and its partner the Wallace Foundation are proud to announce the "How School Districts Support Effective Leadership Practice." This free webinar is part of a series highlighting research and exemplary practice in leadership preparation. 

School leadership often has been overlooked as an education improvement strategy, despite the evidence that leadership influences student achievement.  In this webinar, panelists will share their research findings and examine district-level conditions that improve the effectiveness of school principals. The panelists will also discuss how to develop effective university-district preparation partnerships. 

Meredith Honig (University of Washington), Karen Seashore (University of Minnesota), and Daniel Player (University of Virginia’s Darden-Curry Partnership in Leadership Education) will join UCEA for a presentation and discussion that will explore research and practice concerning the role of school districts in supporting effective leadership practice.  Presenters will share their insights concerning the specific district policies, structures and practices that matter most in supporting effective leadership practice, particularly the practice of building level leaders.  The research and experiences shared is particularly relevant to districts working to support dramatic improvements at low-performing campuses.
