GLISI Research
GLISI and the University of Georgia through the Department of Lifelong Education, Administration, and Policy has worked together for two years on different research agendas. Year 2 focused on "Distilling Next Generation Practices in Leadership Development" and "A Call to Action for Research in Educational Leadership that Matters to the State of Georgia." Led by Dr. Sally J. Zepeda the two studies were conducted through in-depth quantitative and qualitative research with the help of several UGA Research Assistants. The Executive Summaries of the two studies are linked below. To find out more information, please contact Gale Hulme at gale.hulme@glisi.org.
