>Education Leadership Research Program
>
>Through the Education Leadership research program, NCER supports
>research to improve the quality of leadership and administration at
>the local level (e.g., building, district, and region) in order to
>enhance the teaching and learning environment for students and
>thereby improve student outcomes. This program is intended to
>support research on innovative approaches to the recruitment,
>retention, and training of education leaders as well as the
>development and evaluation of professional development programs for
>education leaders. Innovative approaches to recruitment of education
>leaders includes alternative pathways to school leadership that are
>designed to eliminate the barriers that keep talented potential
>school leaders from joining the profession and to provide the
>preparation and support necessary for these leaders to effectively
>function in today's complex education environment.

>Education Policy, Finance, and Systems
>
>Improving student achievement and educational attainment (e.g., high
>school graduation, enrollment and completion of postsecondary
>education) is a national concern. Through the Education Policy,
>Finance, and Systems program, the Institute supports research to
>improve student learning and achievement by identifying changes in
>the ways in which schools and districts are organized, managed, and
>operated that may be directly or indirectly linked to student
>outcomes. Rather than improving student learning by changing
>directly the curricula or instructional approaches, organizational
>and management approaches are generally designed to change the
>structure and operation of schools or districts in ways that may
>indirectly improve the overall teaching and learning environment and
>lead to increased student achievement.
