- Abstract
This paper offers a rationale and a design for a graduate program in Educational Leadership to be implemented in Venezuelan universities. The rationale for the program points out that schools are the main source of leadership development, and teachers and administrators need to be aware of their leadership roles and their roles as agents of societal change. The new program aspires to break the old paradigm of educational management and educational administration which is not responding to the new imperatives of societal change. The paper examines the development of leadership theories and models, discusses the socioeducational implications of the current state of the art in education, analyzes the feasibility of designing and implementing a postgraduate career in Educational Leadership, and proposes some indicators that may delineate the curriculum design of a graduate program in Educational Leadership.
