LEAPP Survey

Leadership Educational & Administration Preparation Program

UCEA has embarked on a survey project that is fully aligned with the new National Educational Leadership Preparation Standards or (NELPS) and designed to provide actionable information to institutions of higher education that educate and/or certify K-12 school leaders.

The newly created Leadership Education and Administration Preparation Program survey, or LEAPP, was designed by UCEA in collaboration with an Advisory Board made up of experts from UCEA Member Institutions.

Survey Purpose

The survey is designed to:

• track student progress through the program on all leadership standards.
• provide information to programs that will allow program faculty to modify their practices/curriculum/instruction to improve student outcomes.
• provide information on multiple constructs embedded within the national standards such that programs can identify skills, content areas or standards that need more attention.
• gather data from member schools to understand the state of the field broadly.
• provide the necessary data to meet the needs of the new accreditation process through CAEP.

UCEA is currently looking for institutions willing to take part in the first administration of the survey.

Benefits

In addition to helping UCEA understand members’ contexts, program benefits include,

• • receiving reports about the ways in which their programs are incorporating the NELP standards,
  • receiving data on student/graduate experiences and knowledge for continuous improvement and accreditation, and
  • providing input into how the reports from the survey will be structured and the design of the survey portal.

If your program is ready to participate in the survey please click the LEAPP Survey link to provide your information to UCEA.

If you have any additional questions about the survey please contact John Yun, HQ Associate Director, at LEAPP@ucea.org or the UCEA office at ucea@msu.edu.
