EEA 535 Dimensions of Educational Leadership

Students examine educational leadership and applications to school or school district settings. Students develop an educational philosophy; through this lens, students articulate and reflect on a school district or school’s academic plan. Students examine a social justice issue in their schools, applying the standard, competencies, and/or dimensions of leadership as outlined by Canadian provincial/territorial government regulations for K-12 education. The course offers an opportunity for students to build on their professional learning as they create their own educational philosophy and plan for growth.
