EDL-6600 Supervising Equitable Learning Organizations
This course explores how supervisors of school organizations develop professional cultures where adults are engaged and motivated to create effective, safe, caring, and healthy organizations. Topics include collaboration, collective efficacy, building leadership capacity, and promoting continuous individual and organizational learning through evidence-based inquiry cycles that involve strategic goal setting, action planning, implementation, and evaluation. Aspiring school leaders learn to use data in service of equitable school and district improvement by employing contextually-appropriate leadership strategies. Critical discussions explore issues such as institutional biases and deficit-based schooling.
