Emphasis will be on research conducted in schools by presenting methods that are appropriate for school-based research. Educational leadership is evolving to place added emphasis upon teacher, parent and student empowerment, which will have fundamental consequences for administrative practice. In the future, administrators will need skills in projecting budget expenses for programs developed by this consortium of participants.
