Leadership Course

The Education Leadership Program is featuring a new course, How Leaders Use Research to Improve Schools, and a capstone school improvement project that requires students to identify an achievement gap in their school, devise a research-supported strategy to reduce this gap, lead a team in implementation of this strategy, and systematically evaluate the project. Students engaged in this process learn to negotiate system politics, enlist the support of teachers in their schools, and put into practice a variety of leadership proficiencies and dispositions.
