2022-2023 FLC 2
Professional Perspectives: Personnel Leadership

Course Overview

This course explores the knowledge, technical abilities, and interpersonal skills required for effective personnel leadership. School leaders interact with a variety of individuals and groups within the school and in the community. They work individually with teachers and other staff daily as they supervise, coach professional growth, and evaluate performance. They also work at a group level with various staff, parent and community members to develop collaborative planning and problem solving mindsets. As they develop teams, foster collaboration, and support the growth and development of staff, school leaders build capacity to achieve successful outcomes for students.

Throughout the course, the participants will reflect on and extend their knowledge of theory and practice in topics related to personnel.
