LDR 573 Evaluating Teacher Leadership

In this final of three courses for the planning, execution, and evaluation of a Teacher Leadership Immersion Project, candidates engage in iterative practices to improve their process of managing change and seek more effective results and deeper insights for future work as teacher leaders. They re-engage the professional literature and colleagues, not to begin the work but to address specific challenges they have faced. They present their work as cases to classmates and within the school/community, and plan for dissemination of their findings through publication, professional presentation, or other medium. Finally, they evaluate both the more and the less tangible results they have obtained, and identify next directions for their school-based project and for their own growth as teacher leaders. Pre-requisite(s): Completion of all Teacher Leadership endorsement coursework. Co-requisite(s): None. 3 semester hours
