EDUC 5208G - Leadership for Equity, Diversity and Inclusion

Leadership in education and similar organizations is directly connected to building teams and promoting learning environments where relationships are key. In this course, students will examine and deconstruct the dominant perspectives in traditional educational leadership theories through a critical lens and identify barriers to inclusive leadership. Students will also examine key problems of practice that center around building social justice and equity in education, public and human service workplaces. Students will apply theory and resources toward building equitable, inclusive solutions. In doing so, students will be encouraged to investigate leadership paradigms that are more responsive and respectful of diversity.
