SAMPLE PROGRAM COURSE
EEDUC 7110 Perspectives on Professional Development
This course assists future educational leaders in supervisory techniques such as mentoring new and experienced teachers, supervising classroom practice, evaluating curricula, developing criteria for performance standards, and planning appropriate staff development. These issues will be examined as we develop a variety of approaches to supervising, mentoring, and evaluating teachers and other staff in schools. Particular attention will be paid to the dynamics of cross-cultural communication and the role of gender in educational administration.
