Journal of Cases in Educational Leadership, v23 n4 p62-76 Dec 2020
This case study is useful for leadership for change or leadership theory in education and other disciplines. It describes the process of including multiple stakeholders in a major revision of a large educator preparation program after state legislation mandates. Student discussions can focus on change goals and patterns of planned change, leading mandated change efforts, and resistance to change. Students can focus on a leader's role in several ways: as the higher-education leader (Dean), as the field partner leader (K-12 schools), and as the faculty committee leader. The case can be used to examine laws affecting school policy, and/or school leadership and its influence on organizational culture. Students discuss the perspective of multiple roles and how the Dean can resolve the situation successfully.
