EDU 5540 - Creating a Vision of an Inclusive School

3 cr

An educational leader promotes the success of all students by facilitating the development, articulation, implementation, and stewardship of a vision of learning that is shared and supported by the school community. This course focuses on inclusive teacher leadership: developing a personal vision, creating and supporting collaborative teams, and designing classroom and school wide support systems for all students. Particular focus is given to the barriers and strategies used to support students who are not experiencing success in school and the role of "special education" and its interface with the "regular" school program.
