Dr. Mike Abel, Director of Research and Evaluation at the McCormick Center for Early Childhood Leadership, authored an article, Leadership Gap Unchanged, How Do We Move the Needle?, which is published in the current July/August issue of Exchange, the premiere magazine for early childhood leaders.
The article is in response to the 2018 Closing the Leadership Gap report that found no substantive improvement in states’ early childhood leadership policies from 2017. This is a concern that we are not seeing movement in the policy arena regarding leadership and suggest a need for increased advocacy and attention to the disparities between early childhood leadership and that of leadership in schools.
