10.2010 EdS Concentration in Educational Leadership for Learning Traditional Non-Performance Based Proposed Revisions Rationale for Embedding Requirements for EDL 8100: Critical Issues in School Transformation and Reform into the Educational Leadership Concentration Course and for Moving EDUC 8100: Advanced Theory of Learning into the Doctoral Program. The two courses presented for consideration are EDL 8100: Critical Issues in School Transformation and Reform and EDUC 8100: Advanced Theory of Learning. It is herein proposed that the content for EDL 8100 be integrated into the EDL Concentration Courses, and that EDUC 8100 be moved to the Doctoral Program as a core requirement thus reducing the EdS by 6 credit hours and adding 3 credit hours to the doctoral program. When the Leadership for Learning Program was initially developed, the Educational Leadership was not represented among the other BOCE/PTEU concentrations. The objectives and content of EDL 8100 are appropriate, defensible, and highly desirable for candidates in concentrations other than Educational Leadership. However, for those candidates in the Educational Leadership program, they are redundant and out-of-context. This change is consistent with the requested modification of the core for the Performance-Based Educational Specialist in Educational Leadership for Learning and the EdD in Educational Leadership for Learning. 10.2010 EdS Concentration in Educational Leadership for Learning Traditional Non-Performance Based Proposed Revisions Proposed Modification of EdS Core Proposed Core Credit Hours EDL 8000: Foundational of Leadership for Learning 3 EDL800: Foundations of Leadership for Learning 3 EDL 8100: Critical Issues in School Transformation & Reform - EDL 8100: Critical Issues in School Transformation & Reform 3 EDRS 8000: Applied Quantitative & Qualitative Research 3 EDRS 8000: Applied Quantitative & Qualitative Research 3 EDRS 8900: Applied Field Research 3 EDRS: Applied Field Research 3 EDIC 8100: Advanced Theory of Learning - EDRS 8100: Advanced Theory of Learning 3 Total 9 hours Current Core Total Credit Hours 15 hours Embed content from EDL 8100 into Concentration Courses and eliminate EDL 8100 from the core for EDL candidates Move EDUC 8100 to the EdD in Educational Leadership for Learning 10.2010 EdS Concentration in Educational Leadership for Learning Traditional Non-Performance Based Proposed Revisions Integration of Proposed Core Revisions with Proposed Revisions to EdD (See Proposal for Modification of Performance-Based Educational Specialist in Educational Leadership for Learning Proposed EdD Core EDRS 9100: Research: Qualitative EDRS 9200: Research Quantitative EDUC 9800: Doctoral Seminar EDUC 8100: Advanced Theory of Learning Total Concentration EDL 9881: Special Education and Advanced School Law EDL 9882: Educational Planning for Transformation EDL 9883: Performance for Educational Executive: Politics, Power, and Policy EDL 9884: Emerging Leadership Trends in Curriculum, Instruction & Assessment EDL 9900: Dissertation Total Electives (Select 12 hrs) EDL 9310: Educational Facilities EDL 9320: Media, Community & Public Relations EDL 9330: Comparative Education EDL 9340: Ethics for Educational Leaders EDL 9350: Economics of Education EDL 9360: Beyond Policy: Reforming Schools Through Learner-Centered Education and Leadership EDL 9370: Critical Issues for Student Learning: Exploring the Literature EDL 8860: Transition Between Building and System Levels (for those who use this option as part of the Performance-Based EdS Advisor Approved Elective EdD Total EdS Total Proposed EdS + EdD Credit Hours 3 3 3 3 12 credit hours 3 3 3 3 9+ 21 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 45 27 72 Current EdD Core EDRS 9100: Research: Qualitative EDRS 9200: Research Quantitative EDUC 9800: Doctoral Seminar xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Credit Hours 3 3 3 9 credit hours Concentration EDL 9881: Special Education and Advanced School Law EDL 9882: Educational Planning for Transformation EDL 9883: Performance for Educational Executive: Politics, Power, and Policy EDL 9884: Emerging Leadership Trends in Curriculum, Instruction & Assessment EDL 9900: Dissertation Total Electives (Select 12 hrs) EDL 9310: Educational Facilities EDL 9320: Media, Community & Public Relations EDL 9330: Comparative Education EDL 9340: Ethics for Educational Leaders EDL 9350: Economics of Education EDL 9360: Beyond Policy: Reforming Schools Through Learner-Centered EDL 9370: Critical Issues for Student Learning: Exploring the Literature EDL 8860: Transition Between Building and System Levels (for those who use this option as part of the Performance-Based EdS Advisor Approved Elective EdD Total EdS Total Current Program EdS + EdD 3 3 3 3 9+ 21 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 42+ 33 75 10.2010 EdS Concentration in Educational Leadership for Learning Traditional Non-Performance Based Proposed Revisions The following is an example of alignment between and among objects and “readings” from EDL 8100 and Concentration Courses: Course # Course Name EDL Readings Alignment EDL 8710 Vision & Governance Distributed Leadership & Teachers as Leaders EDL 8720 Managing the Physical & Fiscal Environment Data-Driven Decisions Integrated Readings from EDL 8100 to EDL Concentration Courses Angele, P.
