EDU 6161 Practicum l Seminar in Educational Leadership, PK-8 (1 cr.) Online (Synchronous/Asynchronous) The purpose of the seminar is to provide scaffolding and opportunities for reflection and practice to enable principal candidates to internalize the knowledge, skills, and dispositions of effective principals as they progress through the practicum. Candidates read, research, write, reflect, and communicate as they explore their growth as professionals. They continuously reflect on how their identities, biases, and practices impact instructional practice and student well-being and how staff members use school data, current research, best practices, and theory to continuously adapt instruction to be increasingly anti-racist. The seminar's format is twofold: to assist students in completing Pal Task 1 and Pal Task 2 and to share in the leadership of course discussions and activities driven by 80 practicum hours simultaneously completed in EDU 6169 Administrative Leadership Fall Practicum, Year One. Learnings and experiences are shared in a culminating professional learning community celebration. M.Ed. EDUCATIONAL LEADERSHIP CANDIDATES ONLY.
