Description
School safety and discipline have emerged over the last several years as highly relevant domains of educational policy and practice. Educational leaders must cope with competing demands to ensure that school environments are safe while also conducive to learning and equitable for all learners. This course provides an overview of timely topics in the school safety and discipline subfields as well as a practical experience developing research in this area.. Drawing on theoretical perspectives and empirical analyses of various policy and practice approaches to safety and discipline, it probes the evidence on the effectiveness of interventions and policies including those around school bullying, school shootings, zero tolerance discipline, and restorative practices. The course is designed as a graduate seminar, drawing primarily on primary empirical studies and providing space for students to develop an original research project of their own.
EDA 6061: Educational Organization and Administration
Professor
Class Meeting Information
Modality: HyFlex (Offered 100% synchronously online and in a face-to-face section)
Day: Monday
Period/Time: 7-E2 (5:00 – 9:45 p.m.)
Description
A school is a world in which people live and work. Like any other social organization, the world of school has a system of power, defined/undefined structure, logic, ethics and values which influence the way individuals behave or see the world, interpret it and respond to it. The behavior of people at work in an educational organization, individually and as a group, is significantly shaped and molded by the social norms and expectations of the culture in the organization. This interplay between the individual and the social environment of the educational organization is the underlying concept influencing the behavior of people in the educational organization. Those who desire to be effective educational leaders must have a clear understanding of the concepts of organizational behavior to decide how to practice leadership and bring about educational change, change of the status quo, achievement enhancements, teacher development, and student learning. This course is an introduction to organizational behavior and related elements and activities to examine the role of the educational administrator as a strategic partner in leading today’s schools.
