Managing Effective Equity-Centered Educational Organizations

Catalog description

This course surveys system-wide leadership in terms of organizational design, planning, oversight, and progress monitoring through the specific aspects of governance, operations, development, finance, and management. These components of organizational viability impact all aspects of programming and are therefore critical to education leadership at all levels. Becoming an effective and sustainable education leader lies at the center of this course with an emphasis on growing the ability to understand, engage, and effectively support and challenge others and create conditions for equitable school and system management, governance, and transformation. The course uses case studies and simulations from both traditional public and charter settings from the New Orleans context.
