EDU803: Managing Learning Organization Resources

Credit Hours:
3
Estimated Hours Per Week:
20

Overview

This course involves a significant exploration and analysis of varied applications of Educational Leadership Constituent Council (ELCC) Standard 3, which focuses on “…managing the organization, operations, and resources in a way that promotes a safe, efficient, and effective learning environment.”

This course also includes a 220-hour internship composed of supervised "substantial, sustained, standards-based" professional work in an actual educational institution or enterprise. The internship requires proof of substantive achievement of ELCC Standards 1 through 6 (the internship itself is Standard 7).  

The course contains two key assessments designed to demonstrate mastery of the ELCC professional standards:

  • The first key assessment, The Organizational Leader: Managing Learning Organization Resources, is the course project in which each JIU candidate develops an administrative work sample that demonstrates the application of leadership abilities in K-12 settings derived from his/her JIU course-based synthesizing projects.
  • The second key assessment, The Effective Leader: Supporting Student Learning and Development, is a graduation requirement for the program and takes the form of an employer evaluation of ELCC standards and JIU program learning objectives. This assessment measures how effectively the program prepares candidates to synthesize and apply knowledge and practice through effective leadership.

Learning Outcomes
