The Educator
Leadership Institute (ELI),
a program of the Education Collaborative
for Greater Boston (EDCO), is
a unique administrator preparation
and licensure program which
has been extraordinarily well
received by its candidates.
Upon graduation, participants
have been particularly successful
in locating and succeeding in
educational leadership positions.
ELI’s pedagogy utilizes
actual leadership case examples
and visits by principals and
superintendents from metropolitan
Boston schools and districts
to provide vehicles for candidates’
discussion and critique. This
hands-on, highly participatory
model borrowed from professional
law and graduate business schools
thrusts candidates into the
educational administrator’s
role where they practice rather
than merely study educational
administration. The Institute
is taught by practicing and
recently retired principals
and superintendents who have
been successful in leading schools
that have met and exceeded the
accountability standards of
the federal No Child Left Behind
(NCLB) Act. |
