Collaboration and Leadership in Schools ((3))

Catalog description

This course presents information about leadership theories, practices, and interventions along with applications of leadership concepts as they apply to work in and with PK-12 educational settings. Weekly classes and assignments will allow candidates to explore their own leadership and communication styles, analyze education policies and their impacts on student success, and construct a Multi-Tiered System of Support to address a research-based problem that negatively impacts student performance and success. Candidates will participate in lectures, discussions, role-plays, and will evaluate sample MTSS to identify the role of the counselor as a leader and advocate in the school and greater communities.
