Learner-Centered Leadership for Language and Culturally Diverse Schools in High-Needs Urban Settings | Arizona State University

Activities

The LCL program aligns with a continuum of leadership development to promote knowledge acquisition and skill development. Aspiring school leaders participate in coursework and internships focusing on leadership and management, teaching and learning, family, school, and community connections, innovation and school reform, facilitative and distributed leadership, data-driven decision making, and effective schools research, and reflective inquiry.

Rising administrators participate in labs, institutes, and workshops that focus on topic areas drawn from the experiences of current administrators with particular reference to leadership in urban settings, innovation and change, communication, legal and ethical reasoning. In addition, rising administrators develop mentoring relationships with experienced and accomplished administrators who provide knowledge, critique, support, and encouragement as these rising administrators work toward developing shared visions within their schools. They are also required to create individual action plans that focus on multiple aspects of learner-centered leadership. The action plans may focus on research projects, case studies, or a site improvement project that leads to improved personal qualities and interpersonal skills, to a new program or initiative that targets improved opportunities for student learning.
