ED8322 School Improvement for P-12 School Leaders
This course is an overview of the school leader's role in supporting school improvement. Learners examine specific strategies and processes to assess a school's current state and needs, followed by strategic data collection, disaggregation of formative and summative data, and examination of school improvement plans. Learners also explore the continuous process of viable school improvement through climate surveys, research-based instruction, and enhanced teacher capacity, which leads to improved school climate, curriculum, instruction, and, ultimately, student outcomes. Finally, learners interact with practicing school administrators to gain insight into the field of school leadership. Cannot be fulfilled by transfer.
