The curriculum is constructed around four overarching and
inter-related themes that are seen as integral to the academic
and professional development of educational leaders:
Visionary Leadership and Management
Policy into Practice
Data for Decision-Making
Building Community in a Diverse Society
The courses are tied to these themes and will use problem-based,
case study learning approaches to ground the program in the
realities of schools and community colleges.
