- Positively influencing
local, state, and national educational policy
Although our member faculty and deans come from
different states and regions, we all share the
same goals of building knowledge for the field
and providing quality preparation and lifelong
learning experiences for school and school system
leaders. Our collective wisdom, expertise and
research create the body of knowledge for our
profession. In UCEA you will always find someone
who has blazed the trail before you. And, together,
we shape the future of our profession.
More
than 50 years ago, the University Council for
Educational Administration (UCEA) was founded
by 15 universities, the Kellogg Foundation, and
the regional Centers for Educational Administration,
all of whom recognized the need for inter-university
collaboration to build a knowledge base of research
and effective practice for the field of educational
administration. The organization has a rich history.
As the years passed, the organization grew. So
that today, UCEA has become the collective of
top research institutions with programs in educational
leadership and policy.
And the UCEA community
expands far beyond our institutional members.
Because our members prepare future leaders for
schools and school systems, our community extends
into the very spaces where children learn and
grow. UCEA is also a part of several national
networks of educational administration organizations
focused on improving the field, including the
National Commission for the Advancement in Educational
Leadership and the National Policy Board for Educational
Administration.
