Call for study participants: National Survey for School Leaders on the Current Political Climate

The UCEA Voices from the Field project is a long-running, respected initiative that has studied the realities of school and district leadership since 1996. Now in its fifth phase, the current study (Voices V) is focused on engaging with issues of race and leadership preparation. Voices is seeking current school or district administrators, as well as recent graduates of leadership preparation programs, to participate in either a one-on-one interview or a focus group, each lasting approximately one hour. To participate, you must be a K-12 building or district administrator, and you must have completed a leadership preparation program, endorsement or certificate between 2017-2024.
