The Center for Educational Leadership (CEL) based out of the University of Washington (with a strong Web presence as well) is a good source of information and tools for strengthening one’s educational leadership skills. The description provided in this post about what the CEL offers is very good in terms of describing the organization’s unique approach to helping individuals obtain leadership knowledge. The Webinars area great source of info for example and give a lot of good tutorials on leadership growth, the principles of leadership, and guides for classroom observation.The School Leadership website produced by the Wallace Foundation is also very good to know about, especially since it focuses on serving underprivileged kids by way of various programs and offerings.

The Principal Pipeline is another good tool that principals can use to help them as they work towards increasing student achievement. I find all of these tools to be useful: they have the potential to really support the educational leadership process and that is what’s most important when you’re looking for resources to help you manage the leadership position that you are in.

I can find aspects of myself in each of these types and I think that says some really good things about how I approach leadership but also about leadership in general. For instance, in this post you also describe the six leadership styles: visionary, coaching, democratic, affiliative, pacesetting, and commanding.…
I will and have been using a journal of activities to measure these goals as well as the total goals of my day-to-day work. In this respect I will be trying to eliminate one of my flaws; that of being a know-it-all at times. There are certain points where I go off on tangents trying to solve the unsolvable.

Educational Leadership Merriam-Webster's New English Dictionary defines a leader as being, "a person who has commanding authority or influence" (Merriam-Webster's New English Dictionary, 2011).

Educational Leadership "When Leadership Spells Danger" (Heifetz, et al.) The article by Heifetz and Linsky takes the position that part of the job of leadership in education is not just teaching, but also "…mobilizing schools, families, and communities" in order to effectively confront serious issues.
