(Invited Address)GRADUATE LEVEL COURSESPolitics in Educational Administration- This course is intended for building and district level educational leaders. The class includes an overview of political activities at the local, state and federal levels that will enhance the professional development of school administrators. The issues that will be addressed include micro-politics at the school site and district offices; principal, superintendent and school board relations; lobbying legislators and dealing with interest groups; the state political process; federal aid; and analysis of current political controversies. Taught: Spring ‘99; March ’99 (Mannheim Germany); Fall 99 (Tulsa); Spring ‘00; Summer ’00 (Lawton); Spring. 01; Fall ’01 (Ponca City); Spring 02; Spring ’03; March ’03 (Heidelberg Germany); Typically scheduled Spring 2004-present.Policy Planning & Development- The course is designed as an introduction to problem identification, policy formation, policy adoption, policy implementation and policy analysis. In addition, the impact of politics on the policy process will be examined. As persons interested in the practice of educational administration, future success will depend in large part on the knowledge and skills related to school policy. This course is founded on the assumption that every person in an educational leadership position must be concerned with the various aspects of policy. Taught: Fall 98; Fall 99; November ‘99 (Heidelberg Germany); Fall ‘00; Fall ‘01; Fall ‘02; Fall ’03; Offered Fall 2004-present.Education and Community Relations-The course is organized around concerns that are central to the development of a thoughtful and pragmatic community relations policy. The course is taught from the perspective that often problems reflected in schools are rooted in the community. Key topics include: public confidence in American schools; leadership, development, and implementation of school mission and capacity; communication with external and internal publics; and community collaboration (i.e., booster clubs, business incentives, and input, PTA/ PTO, other school/community organizations such as civic, cultural, recreation and religious groups). Taught: Spring ’99; Summer ‘00; Spring ‘01 (Manheim Germany); Summer ’01; Summer ’03 (Ramstein, Germany); Summer 2004- 2009.Naturalistic Research Traditions and Qualitative Methodologies- The purpose of this course is to introduce students to naturalistic or qualitative inquiry in general and, more specifically, to research traditions such as ethnography, phenomenology, grounded theory, case study, and interpretive interactionism. Also the class assists students in conducting a research project from one of these perspectives. The course consists of reading assignments, lectures, presentations of class members’ research, and class discussions. Early in the semester each student will select a research topic investigated through one research tradition about which s/he will prepare a written and oral presentation. This paper should detail the ontology, epistemology, and ideology associated with the research tradition and the selected topic. Students may briefly present this paper to the class, including a rationale for using it to conduct their research projects. The other assignment is to conduct a research study within the context of the research tradition discussed in the first assignment. Principal Internship- This course is the capstone experience that further prepares students to meet the challenges of assuming a leadership position in a school district. The components of the internship experience include 150 contact hours and the development of a portfolio that documents projects and activities that span all 6 NCATE areas. The substance of these activities and projects must parallel the functional areas of instruction, staff development, personnel, student services, and support services. Projects and activities should have the intern involved in: 1) finding tentative solutions to an administrative problem(s) that requires demonstration of competency in establishing the parameters of the problem, 2) organizing and coordinating resources to determine alternative solutions to the problem, and 3) posing recommendations for actions to be taken to remove or ameliorate the problem. Every semester Fall ‘00-Spring ’03; Summer 2008-Fall 2008.Superintendent Internship- this course is the capstone experience that further prepares students to meet the challenges of assuming a leadership position in a school district. The components of the internship experience include 200 contact hours and the development of a portfolio that documents projects and activities that span all 11 NCATE domains. The substance of these activities and projects must parallel the functional areas of instruction, staff development, personnel, student services, and support services. Projects and activities should have the intern involved in: 1) finding tentative solutions to an administrative problem(s) that requires demonstration of competency in establishing the parameters of the problem, 2) organizing and coordinating resources to determine alternative solutions to the problem, and 3) posing recommendations for actions to be taken to remove or ameliorate the problem. Spring ’00; Spring ’03; Summer 2008; Fall 2008.Critical Issues in Educational Administration- This course is designed to provide class members the opportunity to examine and discuss some of the critical issues that face educational administrators every day. As persons interested in the practice of educational administration, success will depend in large part on the ability to deal with complex and controversial issues. This course will provide the opportunity for future principals and superintendents to work through some of the challenges facing school leaders.
