This Critical Conversation will create an opportunity for in-depth dialogue about how the educational leadership professoriate is responding to external pressures to redesign university leadership preparation programs. Building upon multi-case study findings and using the Orr and Pounder suggested guidelines for effective preparation program design, participants will discuss the benefits and limitations of external interventions, the pro-active versus re-active stance of preparation faculty, unintended and conflicting consequences, and advocacy strategies for shaping policymaking.
