Action research in school leadership programs.
Abstract
Educational leadership programs are being challenged for not adequately preparing school leaders. Programs are too theoretical and totally unrelated to the daily demands on contemporary principals. The coursework is poorly sequenced and organized, making it impossible to scaffold the learning. The author argues that incorporating action research in pre-service school leadership programs is one way of narrowing the gap between theory while involving students in solving real workplace-based problems.
