MB 6010 - Leadership and the Global Achievement Gap

2 lecture hours 4 lab hours 4 credits
Course Description
In this course, students learn to evaluate research and identify “best practice” in student achievement and school leadership. A particular focus is placed on reviewing studies that address the K-12 global achievement gap, identifying the extent of the gap, understanding the factors that contribute to the gap, and exploring changes in the U.S. educational system that have the potential to eliminate the gap while improving education achievement for all students. In addition, the leadership skills and abilities needed to address this challenge are explored, and students are asked to expand their personal leadership development plan to ensure these skills/abilities are addressed.
