EDU 6166 Practicum lll Seminar in Educational Leadership, 5-12 (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 discuss how effective partnerships and strategic relationships with families, community organizations, and other stakeholders strengthen the learning and growth of all students and the success of all staff. They describe regular opportunities and supportive structures for all families to actively partner in the school and classroom community. They discuss ways to elevate the voices of Black, Hispanic/Latino, Asian, Indigenous, and Multiracial educators in daily and critical decision-making and support all educators to contribute to the development of an anti-racist school/district culture. This seminar examines challenging situations where hard ethical decisions need to be made with consideration of limited resources, multiple constituencies, and inequitable circumstances. Candidates study multiple sources of evidence, including student learning, student and family experiences, and school culture and climate that interrupt historically systemic racial inequities and improve educator effectiveness and student learning. They examine the design, construction, and equipping of school facilities that are safe, efficient, and effective learning environments and HR policies, procedures, and systems that identify bias and promote thriving school communities. The seminar's format is twofold: to assist students in completing Pal Task 4 Leadership for Family Engagement and Community Involvement and to share in the leadership of course discussions and activities driven by 100 practicum hours simultaneously completed in EDU 6173 Administrative Leadership Fall Practicum, Year Two. M.Ed. EDUCATIONAL LEADERSHIP CANDIDATES ONLY.
