Leadership for Learning

Catalog description

The course requires individuals to practice these leadership skills and reflect on their impact. Self-directed learning gives students practice in addressing the "linkage of curriculum, instruction, assessment, and data on student learning and teacher effectiveness based on research and best practices" (adapted from "Framework for Leadership," Pennsylvania Department of Education). The course serves as one of the four courses that satisfy the requirements of Pennsylvania's Letter of Eligibility certification.
