MEDU 766 - Teacher as Leader

Credits: 6
What are the attributes of a teacher leader? What impact does adult development have on classroom teaching strategies? These two questions provide the overall focus for the Teacher as Leader Thematic Unit, which presents a variety of teacher leadership models as well as the theories related specifically to teachers and adult development. Students plan and implement specific projects in their own schools that relate to these two variables. In addition, students are required to research and write papers and to develop simulations to enhance their understanding of these theories and models.
