Schools and education in general face intense scrutiny, particularly as states enact high stakes accountability legislation that measures and judges performance. This has led to increased stress for school administrators who have typically had little voice in framing these policies but who are responsible for meeting state mandated standards. This article describes the steps taken in a university educational leadership program to foster the proactive engagement of educational leaders in the policy arena.
