2012 UCEA Convention

With a history over a half-century long, UCEA has directed attention to the role of quality leadership preparation and development, and scholarship
on individuals, organizations, policies, politics, and practices that hinder and support quality leadership preparation and practice. So, now how will UCEA (re)define the future of leadership preparation and practice? This keynote address will reflect on the reasons we have to be optimistic about UCEA and the field’s future, the opportunities we have to deliberately influence our future, and the obligation we have as a collective to remain engaged in setting, shaping, and shifting the agenda to ensure that quality leadership preparation and practice serves its role in creating an equitable educational systems.
