PAUSE for Pedagogy: A Call for Industry/Community Partners & Student Authors
A regular column in the ILA's Interface newsletter since 2016, “PAUSE for Pedagogy” aims to connect leadership education theory to practice and seeks to take lessons learned in the classroom and beyond to expand our theoretical knowledge of teaching and learning while adding tools to readers' pedagogical toolboxes. Written to benefit leaders in various roles, industries, and points in their careers, our goal is to incorporate first-hand educational concepts from industry, community partners, and students. The series is edited by Lisa Endersby and Dan Jenkins and supported in internship by Lyndee Phillips, all members of ILA’s Leadership Education Member Interest Group.
Have you implemented an innovative practice in leadership education? If so, we are looking for article submissions to be considered for publication throughout the remainder of the calendar year, and into 2022. For consideration purposes, please submit a short abstract (100 words or less), with the basis for your submission to Dan Jenkins, Lisa Endersby, and Lyndee Phillips at pauseforpedagogy@ila-net.com. Upon receipt, we will review and be in touch regarding the next steps.
