Description
The kind and quality of leadership we have will determine, for better or worse, the kinds of schools we have. In this course, Fellows will critique traditional views of leadership and examine why they have or have not worked well in the past. They will develop an understanding of the types of behavior that facilitate and encourage high performance among staff members and students. Fellows will learn how schools improve when they are transformed from organizations to learning communities that are predicated on purpose and commitment. Finally, Fellows will develop an understanding of collegiality as a form of professional virtue that comes from within as teachers feel the necessity of and the responsibility for sharing and working together.
