EDL 541 School Building Leadership

The design of this course will be focused around the concept of Leadership for Change. Providing leadership, through what can be a massive potential for school restructuring, will be the challenge of tomorrow's school principals. You will be shown how to implement coherent systems of curriculum, instruction, and assessment that promote the mission, vision, and core values of the school, embody high expectations for student learning, align with academic standards, and are culturally responsive. Followed by providing coherent systems of academic and social supports, services, extracurricular activities, and accommodations to meet the range of learning needs of each student, ensuring that each student has equitable access to effective teachers, learning opportunities, academic and social support, and other resources necessary for success. The course will focus attention on the needs of the school community by demonstrating the importance to empower and motivate teachers and staff to the highest levels of professional practice and to continuous learning and improvement, which will lead to the collective responsibility for meeting the academic, social, emotional, and physical needs of each student, pursuant to the mission, vision, and core values of the school. This will culminate with showing you how to create the means for the school community to partner with families to support student learning in and out of school, all the while using methods of continuous improvement to achieve the vision, fulfill the mission, and promote the core values of the school.

Dates: March 19, 2024 to June 4, 2024 with virtual Zoom meetings on Tuesdays, 5:00 - 7:00 PM. The Professor will be Dr. Carlos Falcon - carlos.falcon@stonybrook.edu
