On the long list with at least one mention are block scheduling, physical education, technology, leadership trends, and brain research. Those who have not read at least three of the last four issues mention lack of time as the primary reason, with many noting they would catch up in the summer. Perhaps some of the most interesting information came from responses to a question asking readers whether they had ever implemented a strategy or program after reading an article in Educational Leadership. Pages of comments reveal that readers remember particular articles dating back even a dozen years. Some recall numerous authors by name, and some recall titles of articles.
Many readers mention using articles in graduate schools or with graduate students.
Others tell us they have used articles as the basis of implementing a school reform. Multiple intelligences, cooperative learning, conflict resolution, portfolio assessments, thinking skills, restructuring, and leadership techniques are all mentioned. The respondents rated EL very highly. . . . It is apparent from ratings of both particular features and overall scores that Educational Leadership does well to meet its readership's needs, is respected as a valuable reference tool, and is both a source and a forum for new ideas in the education profession. . . . This study confirms Educational Leadership to be a leader in its field, to well serve its readership, and to be worthy of its critical acclaim.
