School Organizational Leadership (online)

The course explores the dynamics of transformational leadership that looks beyond traditional school environments and welcomes non-traditional thinking. Students will consider themselves "architects" of the teaching and learning environments within their schools wherein there is a culture of continuous improvement. Future school leaders will: explore technology that supports teachers and administrators decision-making; learn how to develop policies and practices that support learning; explore how extended learning time can advantage underachieving students; investigate the benefits and challenges of risk taking and transparency; and look at models of professional learning communities.
