Administrative Leadership

Description

This course will introduce candidates to the many and varied roles and responsibilities of a building administrator. Candidates will self-reflect on their own leadership style in order to better understand their approach to managing and addressing the day-to-day expectations and routines that will ensure effective and efficient school operations.

During this course, candidates will learn about the most effective leadership qualities for creating change in their schools. They will also learn about the various organizational structures that should be in place based on the Eleven Essential Conditions for Highly Effective Schools and other strategies that the building administrator can use to build culture with students, staff, and families. Course content, activities and assignments align with and meet specific MA Department of Elementary and Secondary Education Professional Standards for Administrators.
