International Educational Leadership Community

The need for cooperative efforts at the international level to deal with common educational issues has become apparent. It is further understood that the sharing of information regarding these issues around the world clearly reveals that we already have effective practices that exemplify excellence in education. These practices deserve a forum to share this important knowledge to all who have an interest. Therefore, to promote a bound of cooperation we will focus on four themes--LEADING, LEARNING, TEACHING and SCHOOL DEVELOPMENT. Framing a response would be benefical by addressing the following questions:

" What can we learn from each other? "

" What new skills are needed to help facilitate greater student success? "

" What new skills are needed to help facilitate effective school development? "

" Where do we start? "

Niagara University, Niagara Falls, New York, U,S.A. and the school district of North Wuerttemberg, Stuttgart, Germany formed a partnership to promote this collaborative effort to develop a platform to promote discussion as well as to exchange ideas. Since the launch of this initial announcement representatives from the following school district/educational organizations have joined us to promote the theme of this site:

University of Muenster, Muenster, Germany
North Vancouver School District, British Columbia, Canada
Free University Of Bozen-Bolzano, Bozano, Italy
Western New York Educational Service Council, Buffalo, New York, U.S.A.

It is our intent that each of the participants enrolled in this community will be encouraged to contribute to this important discussion by sharing articles, announcements of upcoming leadership events, collaboration on educational research, sharing programs of an exemplary nature and any other topic that may be of interest to the INTERNATIONAL EDUCATIONAL LEADERSHIP COMMUNITY.

With the support of LEARNHUB we will be able to communicate and continue the dialogue regarding educational issues of mutual interest that are facing our profession internationally. We are all connected and therefore it makes sense for us to share and communicate.
