EDUC 603CI - Professional Seminar in Education


Semester Hours: Three
In this seminar, candidates will focus on the issues and challenges for educational leadership in the first half of the 21st century. Topics will include the impact of globalization; the influence of values, ethics, and moral decision-making on school leadership; the accelerating effect of technology on teaching, curriculum construction and administration in schools; the challenges facing schools as a result of an increasingly diverse culture; and other topics related to educational change. A portion of the course will be devoted to an analysis of case studies of school districts known for excellence in leadership contrasted with comparable districts considered to be chronically challenged. Course discussions will be based on extensive readings in the field of educational leadership. This course will also include an overview of the courses required for the program as well as the elective opportunities for the advanced graduate student. This will also include standards and expectations for completing the portfolio, field studies, interviews, writing style requirements, reflections, and preparation for the program culminating written examination.
This course cannot be taken as a directed study. This course is designed for students in the Curriculum and Instruction track.
