LEA 702 - Leadership Theories and Practices

Credits: 3

Case studies and problem-based learning are used to address challenging issues encountered by leaders. Students develop personal skills and confidence using leadership theories and strategies introduced in LEA 701. Through a case-study and problem-based learning approach, major issues and perspectives of leadership are examined with particular emphasis on problem solving, consensus building, conflict resolution, ethics, and building relevant community connections from a biblical worldview. Participants will study how to work with governing boards, solve financial issues, and foster collaboration, student achievement, and school improvement.
