Name: The Use of Practitioners for Instruction and Cohort Development in an Innovative Preservice Preparation Program
ID: m14633
Language: English (en)
Summary: The University of Cincinnati has as its induction experience into the Master's program in educational administration, the six-week long, all-day, summer Administrator Development Academy, in which the new student cohort is developed into a cohesive group. This Academy induction experience is taught almost exclusively by practitioners, who are building principals and teacher-leaders from the area, carefully selected for their knowledge and instructional reputations. The practitioners, who are also all alumni of the Academy and the university educational leadership program, build and develop the cohort, design the instructional program each year, making adjustments to fit the changing landscape in school leadership, allowing the instruction to be topical and flexible in nature. The instructional team also models the idea of team leadership in this unique experience. This unique instructional model for leadership preparation programs may serve to overcome some of the criticisms of preparation programs and to improve the connection between theory and practice in those programs. This module will describe the Academy, the instructional team and its implementation, as well as examining the instruction of the Academy, all heavily influenced by the practitioner instructional team.
