UEL 9011 - Leading Urban Educational Organizations through Change

Institution:

University of Cincinnati-Main Campus

Subject:

Description:

This course is the first of two theme-based cohort seminars. It is focused on leadership for improving urban education. Through problem-based learning experiences, students will develop knowledge of leadership practice, leadership skills, problem-solving skills, and lifelong learning skills. Problem-based learning is an instructional strategy that organizes knowledge around leadership problems rather than the disciplines. Students work collaboratively on solving these problems as members of a project team. Educational efforts in urban communities require leaders to consider all aspects of the organization, including schools, community groups, government organizations, and higher education facilities to name a few. Further, educational leaders need to consider the many individuals involved in the community, including students, parents, school personnel, community leaders, elected officials, university researchers, and others. This seminar also focuses on the connection between leadership, teaching, and learning within urban communities by focusing on the community as a whole entity.
