In
a collaborative venture, the College of Education at Auburn University,
under the leadership of Dr. Richard Kunkel, Dean and the Alabama State
Department of Education, headed by Dr. Ed Richardson, State Superintendent
of Schools set forth to create a training model for aspiring and practicing
leaders on the skills and attitudes necessary for collaborative leadership.
This module is built around the skills and competencies required for
certification of school administrators as set forth by the Alabama
Department of Education (“A” and “AA” certificates), NCATE(National
Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education) , and ISLLC (Interstate
School Leaders Licensure Consortium).
This module can be used as a stand-alone hard copy document or can
be accessed through the Internet. The distance learning format is
“housed” in the Truman Pierce Institute at Auburn University under
the direction of Dr. Frances Kochan
This instructional module is built upon the following set of dispositions
or beliefs:
- Schools operate as an integral part of a
larger community,
- Everyone is responsible for student success,
- Families, staff, and the community must
be in communication for collaboration to be successful,
- Educational excellence requires diverse
ideas, values, and cultures.
