Description

This course undertakes an examination of the necessity for the principal to have broad ?visions? about the school that are shared, clear, inclusive, ambitious, and performance-oriented. The creation of the climate to achieve such ?visions? will also be investigated. In addition, students will come to understand that effective principals are willing to take risks and to seek innovative solutions. Strong emphasis will be placed on emotional intelligence, effective, responsive communication and intergroup relations, essential leadership traits and leadership styles, as well as reflective practice. Students will also explore leadership sustainability, a key force leading to meaningful, long-term change.
