Connecting A Philosophy Of Education With K-12 Historical Events
Educational leadership
An effective educational leader has developed a personal philosophy of educational leadership that extends the philosophy they developed as a teacher and can evaluate his or her personal philosophy of education through the contextual lens of history and politics of K-12 education. An understanding of the major historical events, political issues, and trends influencing education in the last 70 years should be reflected in this leadership philosophy. This philosophy influences how the leader manages the strategic planning process and the outcomes of the plan, as well as how the leader integrates diverse philosophies brought forward by stakeholders.
