EDU 5680 Leadership Perspectives: Theory and Practice
This course will focus on leadership within an organization and the role of the leader. The examination of leadership theories will provide the foundation for participants to develop and support leadership skills and to create an educational vision. The course will center its focus on educational leadership settings and the demands that face schools and their leaders as they strive to meet the challenges of creating schools of excellence for the 21st Century. Through class discussion, group work, readings, case studies and projects, participants will develop a framework for their own individual leadership style. A field experience will be a component of this course. Field experience hours will be tallied throughout the SBL course of study. Cumulative field experience hours from courses (other than the internship) may not exceed 100 hours. The difference will be added to the internship experience requirement for a program total of 250 hours. The field experience includes experiences in districts serving students at different developmental levels and with a variety of characteristics, cultures and socioeconomic backgrounds. Along with a 2-page summary outlining the field experience, candidates must complete the portfolio and record the hours which is a Chalk & Wire benchmark and Advanced Certificate requirement.
