DLL 710 - Power and Politics: Implications for District Leaders

3 hours
This is a capstone course in which students will explore the conceptual perspectives that can be used to examine the political dynamics in the organizational contexts of school districts. The course will focus on the social and political forces (federal, state, local) that affect education in a pluralistic society, on the activities of schools as they relate to the political environment, e.g., voter behavior, change strategies, diversity and equity in a democratic society, and community power structures.
