Welcome to projectIN*SITE -   a dynamic web of connections dedicated to UNCC Educational Leadership students, graduates, and professors. Members will be able to add to their knowledge of research-proven best practices and contribute knowledge through the use of IN*SITEwikis and engage with colleagues, professors, and practitioners around problems of practice through the IN*SITEnetwork.  

 projectIN*SITE is grounded on a number of important values.

• Trust. You can trust projectIN*SITE because it is a closed network accessible only to UNCC Educational Leadership students, professors, and graduates., and it is password protected.
• Collaboration.Too often our work is done in isolation from colleagues in our classes, building,  school systems, and especially from others in the profession outside of our system. projectIN*SITE  is built on the strong and demonstrated value that WE, indeed, have the capacity in our profession to solve our own problems. In fact, people are doing that all around us, but we just too often don't know about it. We lack the tools to access validated best practices and research-proven solutions. projectIN*SITE provides the tools for collaboration and collegiality around problems of practice.
• Meaning. Any time leaders ask/expect others to adjust their workloads to include unfamiliar tasks, the additional workload should ideally come when other less productive processes are removed. However, we all know that this is a goal but not always reality. Therefore, the new work must add meaning to the job – to deepen our understanding and enhance our skills in working toward the vision and mission of the organization. IN*SITEwiki and IN*SITEnetwork both have as their vision to add meaning to the work you are doing as students and practitioners.
• Power. When our work focuses on problems of practice and the exploration of  those problems in a collaborative setting, our work becomes powerful.  In a service-oriented profession where results are sometimes difficult to measure,  it is easy and indeed predictable that practices and processes become more important than results.  IN*SITEwiki and IN*SITEnetwork are tools which will allow students, practitioners, and professors to focus on explore problems of practice in new ways which can ultimately lead to new and better solutions to those problems.
