Today’s educational leaders are confronted with a myriad of diverse issues on a daily basis. Those issues traditionally include governance, academic affairs and resources. In the current education environment, leaders must also be prepared to act on issues concerning accountability, accessibility, technology, competition and community partnerships as well as quickly changing local, state and federal policies. This course will introduce students planning to pursue careers as education leaders, in both K-12 and higher education, to the issues and pressures they will encounter in real time. After receiving instruction in a broad overview of a number of important current issues, students are asked to examine case studies and develop leadership strategies to manage these high profile education issues.
