EDU 599 - SCHOOL LEADER DIVERSE SOCIETY

Institution:

Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Education

Description:

The course will focus on the leadership of schools and the qualities that leaders need to transform these and other public and private-sector organizations for a new century. Such leaders must understand themselves, the organizations that they head, and the complex social political environments that they are asked to navigate on a daily basis. In short, we need leaders who understand formal structure, individual needs, power and conflict, as well as culture and symbols. Accordingly, students will become acquainted with the principles, concepts and major theories of leadership. They will administer a variety of self-analysis instruments to better understand and reflect upon their own leadership styles and behavioral tendencies. Graduates will use this understanding to improve student learning and they will apply this new learning to a variety of situations and problems simulating real challenges in today's K 12 public schools and non-traditional schools.
