The research brings broader understanding ofpreparing educators for rapid globalization. Emerging from the data are ways of thinking that lead to boundless and multi-dimensional environments that prepare students for the global society.  \nIntroduction  \nRound table discussions between professors from California State University and professorsand administrators from several ofThailand’s Rajabhat Universities affirmed that the underlying assumption guiding the direction of their respective educational leadership programs are the same. All agreed that education of all citizens is essential for the social, economic, and cultural development of society and that leadership is a necessary factor in creating quality educational systems. These strongly held beliefs put educational leadership programs in the forefront of academic pursuits at these universities. These conversations that took place in Thailand in the summer of 2006 are reflective of discussions  \nVolume 19, Fall 2007 43  \noccurring worldwide among educators and national leaders. The global interest in the preparation and development of school leaders continues to be driven by the belief that leadership makes a difference in reform implementation, school improvement, and student learning, which in turn positively impacts society as a whole (Hallinger, 2006) . Throughout the world the belief is held that education is a morally-grounded, valuedriven enterprise in need of passionate, caring leaders (Leithwood & Jantzi, 1999) . The purpose of this article is to provoke more consideration for preparation of educational leaders for the global society. Presented here are perspectives ofThai professors on the importance of preparing school leaders to maximize the potential of all students as they face the challenges ofthe global society.  \nSetting  \nA delegation of professors from California State University, San Bernardino visited sixThailand Rajabhat Universities after their respective presidents signed memoranda of understanding during the Fall of 2005, agreeing to exchange students, faculty, and staff. This involved attending classes, teaching classes and holding conferences between two or more universities. While the agreements included all academic areas, the timing was particularly strategic for the Thai universities’educational leadership programs.  \nAs reported in the California State University, San Bernardino, International Newsletter (2006), a Rajabhat President, at the time of the signing, remarked,  \nWe are now atthe crossroads to balance the needs ofour university. We can’t do this alone. Because of the limitations in our country, we realize the need for these agreements; we see this agreement as a means to improving our students’ social status as part of our mission to provide them with a good quality education.  \nThe six universities visited are amongforty-one Rajabhat Universities in Thailand that serve to educatefutureteachers and school administrators. These institutions became“Rajabhat Institutes”in 1995 after His Majesty the King Bhumibol Adulyadej, a strong advocate for education, renamed all teacher training colleges.The delegation from California traversed most of Thailand, traveling by van from Bangkok east to Chachoengsao, Surin, and Ubon, then by air back to Bangkok and north to Chiang Mai. To reach the last university the group traveled by van east through the mountains to Uttaradit. According to Makishima & Suksiriserekul (2003), student enrollment in the Rajabhat universities ranges from 10,000 to 35,000 and approximately 200 faculty members serve at each university.  \n44 Educational Leadership and Administration  \nBackground  \nThe mont","cbCaipA2PkPrASDz","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipA2PkPrASDz","pdf",107705,13,"English","# Introduction\n# Setting\n# Background","[{\"question\":\"What is the main purpose of the article?\",\"answer\":\"To prompt greater consideration for preparing educational leaders for the global society, using perspectives shared by Thai professors.\"},{\"question\":\"What study context and participants are described?\",\"answer\":\"The experiential study focuses on beliefs of Thai professors in educational leadership programs across six Thailand Rajabhat Universities.\"},{\"question\":\"How did the visiting collaboration between universities work?\",\"answer\":\"A delegation visited the six Rajabhat Universities after memoranda of understanding were signed, which involved exchanging students, faculty, and staff through classes, teaching, and conferences.\"}]","Preparing Educational Leaders for the Global Society - Learning from Conversations with Professors in Thailand | PDF",33]
