Leadership knowledge in practice: Reimagining pedagogy, application, and assessment

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Leadership learning frequently overemphasizes teaching, while undervaluing how students acquire leadership knowledge, skills, and abilities (Barr & Tagg, 1995; Fink, 2013). This article discusses the value of grounding leadership learning processes in a framework unique to leadership learning (Guthrie & Jenkins, 2018). Specifically, we advocate for the leadership learning framework (LLF) with an emphasis on leadership knowledge in practice. The authors share an overview of a practical approach toward leadership learning and offer a praxis model. Additionally, we offer a critical analysis of several instructional and assessment strategies, including peer facilitations, classroom learning, and rubrics. We share recommendations and implications for practice around leadership knowledge in pedagogical practice. Lastly, the authors provide their own examples of leadership knowledge in practice from their work.
