Summer 2012 Semester
Instructor: Carol Bradley (Northampton); Tom Jefferson (Marlborough)
Licensure Program(s): Administration
Register by: June 13, 2012
This course focuses on how participants have experienced school—as students, as teachers, and as leaders—and how the organization of schools and districts creates those experiences. The rules under which schools operate, the intention of the educational reforms and movements that underlie those rules, and the interaction between those rules and individual goals are examined. The course requires writing similar to that required in schools and districts as well as writing that draws on students’ experiences with schools. Participants will gain an understanding of some of the areas of rule-setting within an organization including, but not limited to, collective bargaining, state and federal regulations, broad expectations regarding education reform, and school district budgets.
