An emphasis on ethical decision making and the challenges that educational leaders face will be addressed. The course is designed to help candidates develop the competencies they will need as future educational leaders in any PK 12 school and to understand how their work will affect students, teachers, and the school community. Candidates will begin to study the Interstate School Leader Licensure Consortium (ISLLC) standards and the Southern Regional Education Board (SREB) Competencies and Critical Success Factors that effective leaders practice. At the conclusion of this course, students will determine if they wish to seek the principal's license through the Master of Arts in Educational Leadership Program.
