High performing school leaders collaboratively manage their organization, facilities, and resources in ways that optimize resource allocation and promote a safe, efficient, legal, and effective learning environment. In this course the theories and principles of organizational development will be examined, and candidates will explore and apply practices consistent with collaborative leadership. Aspiring school leaders will then examine operational procedures at the school and district level, as well as principles and issues relating to school safety and security, fiscal operations, and human resources management and development. Finally, candidates will consider issues relating to school facilities and use of space, legal issues impacting school operations, and current technologies that support management functions.
