EDU 686 - Residency I


3-0-3

Candidates will participate in performance-based activities in building or system-level education settings.  Specific residency experiences will be collaboratively designed through an Individualized Internship Plan by the Beginning Leader Candidate Support Team (candidate, district and college supervisor) to define evidence that addresses the Leadership Standards in ethics, mentoring and coaching, human resources, school administration, and school finance.  Candidates will complete residency each semester of their program and assignments from each semester will be considered as part of the course grade. Course assignments will require candidates to engage with specific leadership activities, demonstrate proficiency with the leadership standards, reflect on and analyze observed leadership behaviors, and self-assess their own leadership skills and dispositions at a level appropriate for a novice/beginning school or district leader. Some courses assignments require a progressive completion throughout the entire program to be finalized during the last semester while other assignments are to be completed during the current semester. EDU 686 is the initial residency course in sequence with EDU 689.
