2016 UCEA Convention

Research team members from the International School Leadership Development Network will meet to discuss research findings and future directions. Teams from around the world will: • Refine research designs for projects dealing with: (a) leadership for high need schools and (b) social justice leadership • Examine potential funding sources to support research projects • Establish plans for reporting findings at future professional conferences • Determine outlets for publishing research findings

We still see a lot of replicative technology integration and we see many educators using technology simply for technology’s sake. Educational leadership faculty and administrators who wish to push schools’ technology-infused pedagogy to new levels will spend the bulk of their time together analyzing, dissecting, and rebuilding technology-infused elementary and secondary lessons, units, and activities using actual lesson plans and video exemplars to facilitate their work.

Offered by the editors of JRLE and JCEL, this interactive session will educate potential and current reviewers in the art of reviewing. Discussion will address reviewers’ practice of review, how papers are read, how they decided on what issues to focus, and the ways in which they framed a critique. The aims, purposes, and goals of the journal would be highlighted as important factors for high quality reviews.
