Book description
Leadership education has become an essential outcome of higher
education in the past decade and yet leadership development efforts
vary greatly on campuses.
In response, the International Leadership Association (ILA)
published “Guiding Questions: Guidelines for Leadership Education
Programs.” The Guiding Questions document is a result of a five-year,
collaborative process to create guidelines for leadership education
programs. ILA's format of open-ended guiding questions is applicable
to any student affairs practitioner developing a leadership learning program.
This sourcebook was developed specifically to assist higher
education professionals in their understanding, conceptualization, and
implementation of the five standards outlined in the ILA Guiding
Questions: Context, Conceptual Framework, Content, Teaching and
Learning, and Assessment of Leadership Education. It explores
leadership education for undergraduate students and provides a
foundation for readers to develop students' leadership capacity. Using
the ILA's Guiding Questions as a framework, this sourcebook will
enable you to develop a leadership education program on your campus.
This is the 140th volume of this Jossey-Bass higher
education quarterly series. An indispensable resource for vice
presidents of student affairs, deans of students, student counselors,
and other student services professionals,
New Directions for Student Services offers guidelines and
programs for aiding students in their total development: emotional,
social, physical, and intellectual.
