As a scholar, practitioner, and leader in education, adaptability will be an important skill. There is significant variety from one educational setting to the next. Consider a past, current, or desired leadership position in the educational setting of your choice.
Write a 1,050- to 1,400-word analysis examining how theoretical leadership models can be modified to best align with organizational goals. In your analysis:
Describe the educational setting. Consider the demographics and other unique aspects of the community served.
Summarize the organizational goals for this educational setting.
Explain the current leadership model being used in this setting. Consider the strengths and weaknesses of this approach.
Recommend leadership styles and strategies that would be more appropriate and useful for achieving organizational goals. Consider modifications and combinations of leadership models that would best suit the needs of the organization.
This 1,050–1,400 word analysis asks you to examine how theoretical leadership models can be adapted to fit an educational setting’s goals — describing the setting, its goals, the current leadership approach, and how you’d modify a model to align. Apply leadership theory to a real educational context.

Current leadership and the model
Explain the current leadership approach, then select a theoretical leadership model (transformational, servant, situational, distributed) and analyze how it could be modified to best align with the setting’s goals — adaptability is the theme.
Justify the adaptations
Explain why your modifications fit this context, drawing on leadership scholarship, and how they’d advance the organizational goals.
