Principal Leadership Program for Rural Multicultural Schools Across Northern New Mexico (LeadNM) | University of New Mexico
Learning Priorities
The Educational Leadership program recruits individuals from diverse settings and communities who seek to become effective educational leaders who transform education and society; ask questions and engage in inquiry both individually and with others to determine the effects of decisions, policies, and practices on learners and the learning environment; accept responsibility with others for the improvement of learning environments for all learners, and take action with others to create those environments; provide opportunities for learners to acquire the tools they need to reach their goals and to practice their learning, autonomy, and citizenship in a safe environment that supports risk taking and accepts mistakes; pursue learning themselves and regularly assess their educational beliefs and the effects of their actions to improve their leadership practices; and affirm that learning takes place in contexts other than educational institutions.
The LeadNM professional learning communities assist participants who come from different sized districts, different geographic areas, different communities, and who serve students from different backgrounds to align themselves in clarity of purpose; collaborative culture; collective inquiry into best practice and current reality; action orientation and commitment to continuous improvement; focus on results; and commitment to face adversity, conflict, and anxiety (DuFour, 2004).
