This session explores the religious, cultural, and linguistic adaptability of the ELCC educational leadership standards. The first paper reviews how one Christian university adapted the ELCC standards and added three standards: technology, worldview, and research. The second paper reports results of a survey of 1,000 Kuwaiti educators about the value and importance of these 10 standards for Kuwaiti principal preparation. The audience will discuss the transferability of the ELCC standards to other contexts.
