OM 528 - Parental Engagement for Student Learning

In this course aspiring principals investigate the existing state of parent and community engagement in their schools and write and implement a plan which will increase the level of engagement from those stakeholders. Working with a mentor principal, they form a committee at their respective schools to review the current status of parental and community engagement and design small scale projects to improve such engagement and promote student growth and development in a specified academic area. After receiving feedback from the mentor principal about the proposed program or activity, the aspiring principal and committee implement the new initiative. The aspiring principal documents and reports on the impact of the activity or program to the mentor principal and / or other school or district-based teams such as the School Council, Instructional Leadership Team, or district-based Administrative Team.
