Educational Leadership
Here are a few things to consider:

a. How is educational leadership different from other forms of organizational leadership; i.e., how is it different from educational management, educational administration, instructional leadership, public administration, business leadership, and leadership in not-for-profit organizations? In other words, what is unique about educational leadership; what sets it apart from these other fields of study? (Hints: What are the core processes of education? What special knowledge is involved in the management and leadership of schools?)

b. Which of the many leadership theories are most useful for informing our understanding of educational leadership?

c. Does educational leadership encompass leadership in higher education as well as in K-12 education?

d. What is the genesis of educational leadership, and what are the shaping forces since that time?

e. How has educational leadership developed over time to reach the current stage of development?

f. How are educational leaders prepared for their roles?

General Issues
The first segment of this article reads as though it were copied and pasted from someone's graduate-level paper on educational leadership—and not a particularly good one, at that. It requires massive work to remove its bias toward positivist/accountability/hyperrationalist conceptions of both education and leadership. I will begin the process of editing this.

Removed text
I removed the following addition from the article:

"The current paradigm of thinking stresses the Management as a science. So the application of its empiricism have been initiated in the field of education also. This gave birth to a new field called the Educational Management (EM). The EM is a one emerging area in the pedogical research by which one can estimate the outputs and problems of the system of education. For instance, the position of NIEPA and the SIEMATs in Indian education plays the role of Research Organisations in the field of Management in the broader level and Educational Planning and Administration in the field level."

It seems to be talking about the field of educational leadership in India, but I can't figure out what it's trying to say well enough to incorporate it into the article, and it may be too specific for a general article like this one. --RobthTalk 12:44, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

School leadership → Educational leadership — Relisting to generate more discussion. ErikHaugen (talk | contribs) 04:30, 8 March 2011 (UTC) The current name of this page is generic (to the point of being vague) and somewhat obsolete. This new title is the term used by graduate schools offer degrees (M.A, PhD) in this subject area.--Makavey (talk) 19:43, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

With reference to the edit oldid 938127904 (whose edit object was originally titled "2007 study on 1.300 chlldren, aged 9 to 12, 85% African American"), I've simply noted that the section titled "Literature, research and policy" was completely empty of any reference. The source that I've added seems to be a good and updated one. I am not able to say if it is the best available.

However, I don't think editors need a preventive approval for any cited source nor there (still) exists a WP guideline recommending the exclusive use of metareviews or literature reviews. Please, let anyone corfect me if I am wrong, but I didn't read it nor I've seen this type of sources as being the unique cited in WP articles.

I agree they are a better type, but not the unique one that can be legittimately choosen.

Finally, anyone shall suppose WP:good faith. I've no personal interest on the quoted topic. I've simpy cited a paper I've received today via e-mail by academia.edu, the repository in which it is published and freely available for consultation. Therefore, in the specific case, it is very improbable any kind of commercial sponsorhip done by anyone in favour of the author or anyone else. As a proof of that, the pobject doen't quote any publishr, authr or journal, but uniquely the number for which I believed the paper may be enlighted into the WP article. Best regards,

Article is completely unsourced, and misnamed
Other than a list of universities offering a degree in this subject, essentially the entire article is unsourced.

The COMMONNAME for educational leadership is educational "administration" or "management". The article claims, without any sourcing, that the name has changed recently. I don't doubt that the "leadership" version may have become fashionable, and might be used for some of the PR reasons alleged in the article. Nevertheless it is a new term and a rebranding of a familiar degree mostly known under the old, less sexy, name. 73.89.25.252 (talk) 06:02, 6 October 2020 (UTC)
