Updates (for returning LA students)

4.30.13 Update

Greetings, some of you are having difficulty locating the text, "Ethics and the foundations of education." If you have located it, great. However, if you have not, you have the option of purchasing Strike and Soltis' "Ethics of Teaching" instead. You need to purchase and read 1 of the texts, not both.

4.23.13 Update

"The Leadership Academy faculty have made a final decision that only the six texts listed below will be required."

3.8.13

Here are six texts that faculty have selected for the LA in July.  Two more texts will be selescted and posted in the near future.  There will not be pre-academy writing assignments.  We do expect, however, that you come having read the texts, prepared notes, and are ready to discuss them.  You will be able to locate all the texts on-line and used copies are fine.  Make sure you purchase the 2nd edition of "Leadership for Social Justice".
