Excellence and Equity 2: The Dynamics of Improving Schools and Organizations

4 credits · Graduate

This course will focus on understanding the similarities and differences in perennial problems, topics, and dynamics between and across Pre-K through 20 in the areas of transformation and change, policy influences, system leadership levers, college access and success, schools and equity, teachers and teaching, standards and assessment. This course will also focus on viewing P-20 education as an interconnected, interdependent (yet at times unproductively disconnected) pipeline - a necessary conceptualization to advance lifelong equity outcomes.
