Applied District Leadership: Practicum II

Catalog description

This course is the second of two practicum experiences designed to deepen students’ hands-on engagement with the full responsibilities of a district administrator. Building on the foundational experiences from Practicum I, students undertake more complex administrative tasks, including leadership decision-making, strategic planning, and stakeholder engagement. Assignments, reflective practice, and project-based activities enable students to analyze the effectiveness of their leadership strategies, connect theory with practice, and evaluate district-wide initiatives. Attendance and reflection on school board meetings continue to offer insight into governance, policy implementation, and district-level leadership. By the end of the practicum, students are equipped to demonstrate the competencies, skills, and dispositions necessary for effective district administration.
