Seeking Clarity in New Jersey for Leadership Preparation Program Design: Confusion, Fragility, and Unintended Consequences
Doolittle, Gini
Journal of Research on Leadership Education, v8 n2 p230-246 Aug 2013
In 2004, the New Jersey Department of Education issued a mandate to the 17 leadership preparation program providers to revise their leadership preparation programs after completing a critical friends review. This case study explores the challenges, programmatic, and political experiences of one preparation program as state support dwindled. Presenting the pre- and postprogram designs, the case study provides an account of the program's transition to an 8-week module, recently offered in face-to-face, hybrid online, and fully online formats. The case study concludes with a discussion of how diminishing state support exposes leadership preparation programs to external political forces. (Contains 1 table.)
