In 2000 and 2001, IEL released a four-part series entitled Leadership for Student Learning. A product of IEL’s School Leadership for the 21st Century initiative, the series raised public awareness about problems facing education leadership. The series addresses how educational leaders can be effective to lead successful students and schools. The initiative successfully brought many of the challenges facing school leaders into the spotlight of public policy and worked to spark a spirited national debate about the future of our students, schools, and leadership. Although the Series is now over a decade old, many of the recommendations made by the task forces are still relevant today.
