EDUC 562 - Principles of Education Leadership

The importance of teachers serving as leaders in their building, and district, has become increasingly well documented in the past decade. To serve as an effective leader requires skills that many teachers may not have been formally trained in during their professional development. This course seeks to expose the student to the critical leadership components of relationship development, leadership, authority/power and influence, politics of leadership, decision-making, communication, culture development, change, motivation, and conflict management.
