The movement caught my eye. I shaded my eyes with my hand. The winter sun was brilliant ...

This story inspired me to start a research project gathering the stories of men and women who have been "down-sized" or made the decision to leave a company and set up their own business.

A case study on the crisis, challenges and changes in the Alberta Ballet Company. An article presented at the New Wave Art Conference, 5/6. April, 2002.

"Surely, women and leadership has been done enough. Who would need more of those seminars?"

"Do women really need to meet just as women to discuss leadership? I don't think that single sex groups are needed any more."

This article describes the proceedings of a men-only seminar for male academics with leadership responsibilities. Based on recent research in the areas of gender, leadership and professional development, the seminar sought to explored the 'masculinist culture' of academia and the need for this to alter.

A Collaboration of Art Aitken – Superintendent, Prairie Land School Division, Jim Brandon, Assoc. Superintendent, Foothills School Division, John Burger, Senior Manager, Alberta Learning, Pat Klinck, Principal, KeyLinks International Consulting Ltd., Garry McKinnon, Superintendent, Golden Hills Regional School Division and Sylvia Mutch, Education Manager, Alberta Learning.

Patricia Klinck is part of a research team that completed this study in 1992. It investigates the role of educational administrators in developing and delivering a curriculum to students and is posted here because of the renewed interest in these matters.

The purpose of this article is to discuss two aspects of education: first to focus on the international perspectives on educational leadership and second, to look at the specific issue of leadership in high performing teams.

This report was done to assist leaders with the merger of two very different departments. It includes a cultural audit and is based on the work of Lincoln and Guba "Fourth Generation Evaluation" methodology.

As we approach the third millennium, educators are questioning the capacity of the site-based management movement (SBM) to create and sustain a culture of quality learning outcomes for students. Predicated on the belief that the quality of education is largely determined by what happens at the school site, SBM articulates a set of key conditions one of which is the involvement of teachers in school improvement planning, goal setting and continuous improvement.

The primary focus of the policy was the integration of learning and technology and was a response to the challenge from the Minister of Education "how does technology influence student learning?" It soon became apparent that no one could address how students viewed the question - either in the District or in the emerging literature.
