The Institute of Educational Leadership (IEL), a division of the College of Education, promotes the improvement of elementary, secondary and postsecondary education throughout the State of Iowa. It works with educators throughout the state to focus on and clarify issues important to education in Iowa and to address issues of significance to Iowa's school districts. To fulfill this mission, the IEL serves as a catalyst for:
- informed dialogue on educational issues impacting the schools of Iowa, region and nation;
- developing collaborative relationships with individuals and/or organizations external to schools; and
- education policy development.
The IEL monograph series collected here included 11 issues, starting with vol.1 no.1 (1990) through v.7 no.1 (1997).
