This report of the Leadership Training Institute (LTI) on Educational Administration consists of 5 papers assessing the problems facing educational leaders today. The papers, presented at a 1975 conference sponsored by the LTI to assess the federal contribution to administrator education, discussed the kinds of training and experience administrators need and what the federal government role should be in leadership preparation. No concensus was sought, but several themes emerged: (1) the nonpolitical, placid world of educational administration is now filled with turmoil and conflict; (2) the new activism by educational consumers suggests that educational leadership may be too narrowly defined; (3) traditional, university-based administration programs are out ot touch with the reality of public schools, especially urban schools, and do not fully and properly prepare educational leaders for the world in which they must operate; and (4) because of its investment in education, and because of current and future needs, the federal government does have a role in the preparation of educational leaders. Discussion centered on concerns that should be taken into account in refining the federal role. (MB)
