“…Also, the broader question regarding whether or not leadership can be learned at all, has received a lot of attention in both the academic world and the practitioner world alike (Extejt & Smith, 2009). As a result, the proper examination of leadership is ongoing and definitions of leadership are vast and ever changing (Watt, 2009). To help college students become productive parts of society, colleges and universities work to train students in both curricular and co-curricular aspects of development.…”

“…Students must learn that leadership is a means to deal with the complexities and change found within their surroundings. Knowing this will help them learn coping skills to deal with their organization's needs (Watt, 2009). Consequently, student leadership development must include a dynamic environment of strategic events with a heavy reliance on theoretical application, mixed with hands on learning of leadership knowledge with built-in reflection (Hughes et al, 2006;Komives et al, 1998).…”

Understanding whether leadership can be learned is important as many colleges and universities attempt to develop future leaders through a variety of programmatic efforts. Historic leadership research argues leadership is an innate skill. While contemporary leadership research tends to argue that leadership can be learned. The purpose of this paper is to examine student leadership skill development during a leadership course at a regional, mid-western university. This project explored the effects on undergraduate students after a 16-week, forcredit academic course based on the Social Change Model of Leadership (SCM). This project was completed using a quasi-experimental design between two nonequivalent groups. Participants completed the Socially Responsible Leadership Scale as a pre/post-test. The findings suggested that student SCM skill-based knowledge did improve compared to students who did not receive the intervention and subsequently that post-industrial leadership skills associated with the SCM can be learned in a structured, academic course.

The Every Child Succeeds Act of 2015 signaled a shift toward the recognition of the importance of school leadership, reflecting a growing body of literature that demonstrates principals are second only to classroom instruction in supporting student success. This influence is the greatest when principals focus on teaching and learning, or instructional leadership. The ability to focus on instructional leadership requires knowledge, as well as the schema that creates mental models for instructional leadership tasks. This study draws on interviews with principals to examine the relationship between their theory of leadership, which are conceptualized as leadership schema, and their instructional leadership practices. The findings suggest that there are similarities in the instructional leadership tasks undertaken by principals, but that how they engage in tasks is partially determined by their theory of leadership.
