Frequent conversations about advanced study in educational administration among the faculty at New York University has helped us to articulate our belief in the importance of establishing one community of scholarship. Our faculty rejected the notion that research is relevant to future researchers only or that knowledge of practice is needed by future practitioners alone. This way of framing scholarship is proliferating a dualistic construction that ill serves our profession. When we see the preparation of aspiring professors and practicing administrators as being distinctively different, we promote a narrow image of both research and practice. This construction fails to see how scholarship and research is relevant to both aspiring professors and practicing administrators.
