EDUC 612X - Superintendent Devl. Program A

Credits: 3

This is the first course in a three-course sequence to assist middle-level administrators (principals, directors, coordinators, assistant superintendents) in understanding and preparing for the school superintendency. In this first course, students are introduced to a conceptual model that represents the four types of leadership domains that successful superintendents must work successfully within (instructional, political, organizational, and strategic) in both the district and the community environment. The model also includes the impact on the superintendent?s personal life. In addition, students develop the first draft of their educational platform (beliefs) as a superintendent and will begin to examine superintendent-level thinking about issues of practice by working in a cohort team with local superintendents and University faculty on real problems of practice.
