Accolades: Judith Houle
Posted 1/24/2006
Judith Houle, assistant professor in the Department of Educational Leadership, ENHP, has published an article, “Professional Development for Urban Principals in Underperforming Schools,” in the February 2006 issue of Education and Urban Society.
The article chronicles the work of the Connecticut State Department of Education, local districts, faculty from the University of Hartford, and the principals of Connecticut’s 28 priority schools as they created coherence from state-mandated and district-mandated programs intended to bring about school improvement. A yearlong Urban Principals’ Academy (UPA) was devoted to addressing the instructional leadership, capacity building, and personal renewal needs of these principals. Details regarding the content of the UPA are presented with data gathered from the sessions. The article concludes with lessons learned regarding professional development for urban principals of underperforming schools in the context of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001.
