ED 6000 - Foundations of Education Leadership

(3)

Students will become familiar with different ways of exercising leadership, their own strengths and weaknesses, and how they can best work with others in a leadership context. They will learn and apply leadership skills in a way that encourages them to challenge their own beliefs and assumptions about what constitutes education leadership. This course offers a comprehensive review of contemporary issues and perspectives on leadership, including multidisciplinary and systems-oriented approaches as well as classic theory. Topics include the development of leadership theories and styles, personal assessment and development, values and ethics, motivation, power, followership, group dynamics, multiculturalism in leadership, conflict resolution, and the mission and vision process.
