At its core, collaborative leadership is a vehicle for social justice, an essential tool for engaging in democracy and [as introduced in Rubin's most recent publication, "Through Others' Eyes: A Collaborative Model of Leadership" (in The Soul of Educational Leadership: Volume 2, Out-of-the-Box Leadership, Corwin Press, 2007)], the intentional and simultaneous exercise of leadership at both the interpersonal level (relationship management) and institutional level (structural scaffolding).
Rubin's work in education for democracy served as the springboard for national activities by the American Association of State Colleges and Universities, has been published in Education Week and The New York Times, and is featured in AASCU's recent monograph on the American Democracy Project. His positions on doctoral programs in professional education (EdD vs. PhD) have been published in the Chronicle of Higher Education. |
