LEADS

LEADS provides just-in-time information on contemporary education policy and leadership issues confronting K-16 public school systems. The research featured in LEADS comes from original research studies conducted by faculty at the University of Maryland, College Park. LEADS includes brief, practitioner-friendly research summaries and implications for practice. As the name suggests, LEADS aims to call readers' attention to pressing issues and to provide resources for practice and research. CEPAL currently publishes LEADS twice a year.
