Abstract: This session will explore the evaluation of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation initiative, Kellogg Leadership for Community Change (KLCC). The KLCC series aims to focus on, articulate, and celebrate leadership needs and styles at the community level to develop collective leadership for systemic change. The national evaluation team and local site evaluators were charged with responding to three overarching issues: (1) to learn how collective leadership is developed and sustained for improvements in teaching and learning, (2) to learn about community readiness and capacity to create change, and (3) to learn how organizational structures can enhance community building and leadership for change. The first series of KLCC focused on six communities across the U.S. between 2002 and 2004. Recently, a longitudinal evaluation of the sites was conducted. This presentation will report on the findings from KLCC from 2002-2007 with evaluation data that includes interviews, surveys, Photovoice, and Q-methodology.
