OM 564 - Leveraging Technology and Organizational Systems

Candidates will explore all aspects of school culture, including how to build a ‘Community of Virtue’ in which the culture at the school embodies accountability and high expectations for both staff and students. Candidates will explore strategies for maximizing the effective use of time, along with specific attention to “visible leadership” through a management system known as MBWA (Management By Walking Around). The critical aspect of trust will be a major focus of strengthening school culture. Candidates will also understand the roles and responsibilities of the School Council. Candidates will understand how the effective use of technology can strengthen and enhance student learning. We will help candidates create a vision for effective use of technology by teachers to enhance student learning. In addition candidates will understand the role of the school leader in instituting and using technology.
