Professional Learning Communities

Catalog description

This course is designed to introduce and explore the school executive’s role in leading a school through the most exciting of tranformations - that of moving from a traditional structure and culture into that of a true professional learning community. Future school leaders will be equipped with the understanding of the tools and planning necessary for a school to successfully adapt to a 21st Century collaborative model. Also included in this course is the candidate’s development of an action plan, which acts as a key component of the culminating program capstone project. This plan will be based on previously identified data and targets, and will address the allocation of resources and the specific strategies needed to address and improve identified gaps in student learning.
