McREL Insights—From Knowledge to Wisdom: Using Case Methodology to Develop Effective Leaders

 
 
Product Description  

  		McREL's leadership development program is based on the notion that declarative and procedural knowledge can be taught directly, while contextual and experiential knowledge is best developed, at least in part, via case methodology.

Case methodology (also referred to as case method analysis or problem-based learning) is integral to the preparation of lawyers, medical doctors, and business executives. Likewise, school principals benefit when they have the opportunity to critically deliberate about actual cases with their colleagues.

This issue of McREL Insights examines the overall role of case methodology in leadership development and McREL's application of cases in its Balanced Leadership program.
