Credit(s): 3

This course is a study of the research, design, implementation, management and evaluation of the change process. The course is constructed as a survey of educational change to include major themes of continuous improvement, individual change, organization change and resistance to change. An emphasis on systemic change will be a major focus for educational change. Activities will introduce techniques for group facilitation, participatory planning, reflective practices and the addressing of diversity issues. Considerations of the effectiveness of specific changes will be explored as the educational leader’s role in the change process. Specific focus will be given to practices, policies, organization and informal contexts that impact change.
