EDLP 5000 Teachers as Leaders

This course focuses on providing opportunities for teachers to develop their capacity for leadership within the context of their current teaching environments. We must strengthen opportunities for both college students who are aspiring to teach and newly appointed teachers. Recognizing that we will will need more than two million teachers within the next decade throughout our country, it is critical that we have the capacity to support both student and non-tenured teachers. This course strengthens the leadership skills of teachers who want to validate their own practices as well as strengthen their skills as coaches and critical friends for student teachers and newly-appointed teachers.
