EDLD 8630 - Planning for Change (3 Credit Hours)

Lecture Hours: 3 Lab Hours: 0
This course will serve as the introductory course to the Ed.S. Program in Educational Leadership. The course will focus on issues that democracy centered leaders may face relative to high expectations and school/ community relations as part of planning for change. While the focal point will be on how the democracy-centered leader plans for meaningful change in education, the change will be in context with human dynamics and relationships. Participants will examine cultural, ethical and interpersonal issues that affect school climate and resistance to significant change in a democracy-centered school culture. The course is designed to be 1/3 knowledge-based, 1/3 lab-based, and 1/3 performance-based at the district or school level. This course is aligned to the Georgia Board of Regents Principles (7) Performance Management, (9) Leading Change, and (10) Relationship Development and ELCC Standards 1-6.
