EDLF 7140 - Schools as Professional Learning Communities

Few would argue that the pace of change is accelerating in our schools with an emphasis on accountability and school improvement as realities that educators face on a daily basis. As school leaders struggle to re-invent their schools, it has become increasingly clear to many leading educational researchers that a powerful means of school renewal is through a culture and orientation towards professional learning. In this course, students investigate the construct of schools as high performing learning communities for both students and teachers. Prerequisites: Restricted to students who are admitted into a degree and/or endorsement program in Administration and Supervision, or permission of instructor.
