EDL 611 - The Principalship: Elementary, Middle School and High School
Credits: Three (3)
Primary emphasis will be placed on the idea that the school exists as a true learning community whereby the principal serves as a facilitator/servant leader in creating a climate of shared vision, decision-making, and responsibility for an organization devoted to learning for all students. Specific issues related to elementary, middle, and high school levels will be explored through simulations and interactive dialog. Candidates need to integrate all aspects of the principalship so that a leader is prepared to be collaborative, reflective, inquiry- oriented, database driven, culturally responsive, student-focused and goal-directed, not only for the school, but for the community around it. The role of the principal, in light of all previous coursework, will be explored. Students will explore curriculum, instruction, organizational development, assessment, staff development, organizational staffing, and scheduling to promote diversity, vocational and special education, and other forces that influence the role of the educational leader in the school.
