EDUC 232 — Visionary Leadership in Educational Technology
This course focuses on technology planning in educational settings. More often than not school leaders are grown from within their organizations. Educators need to understand decision making from a leadership perspective. Students will develop a technology plan for their school or district, conducting all aspects of the planning process including interviews, needs assessments, professional development, and budgeting. To complete this, students will engage with various stakeholders gaining multiple perspectives involved with leadership. Initiatives such as Future Ready and how leaders learn will be explored. This course is part of an approved set of courses that fulfill the requirements leading to the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) Endorsement for Technology Specialist. Writing assignments, as appropriate to the discipline, are required.
