Transformational Educational Leadership Practices Administrators and Teachers

This online course for teachers and administrators is designed to take you through the best practices of educational leadership. The course begins by teaching the basics of how to create and implement a shared school mission/vision by setting goals and branding their mission/vision. From there, you will learn how to cultivate a strong, positive school climate so that staff are more confident and independent in their ability to manage their own classrooms. The course then takes a deep dive into the four “non-negotiables,” or four foundations upon which academic success is built — standards-based curriculum, data-informed teaching, expecting quality work, and differentiated instruction as the default. You will also learn what it takes to successfully develop and employ professional development, as well as how to build strong professional, community, and student relationships, all without taking it personally. The “nuts and bolts” of school leadership is saved for last, as you learn how to manage meetings and stay organized, all while keeping the big ideas of evaluation in mind as you strive to create a safe school environment.
