EDL 8100 - Critical Issues in School Transformation

3 Class Hours 0 Laboratory Hours 3 Credit Hours
Prerequisite: Admission to Ed.S. or Ed.D. program or permission of instructor.
The overarching goal of the course is to develop school leaders who understand the variables that affect student achievement and how to use data and the professional literature to support the transformation of schools through thoughtful analysis of the total environment and careful planning for the future. Within the context of school transformation, this doctoral seminar addresses the practical application of all aspects of distributed leadership and requires fieldwork and other forms of practical, problem-based learning. Successful candidates will develop a school change portfolio that minimally includes: (a) Rationale for school transformation based upon the professional literature; (b) Historical analysis and assessment of school performance on critical variables related to student achievement; (c) Benchmarking of local and community resources; (d) Professional development plan; and (e) Evaluation strategy.
