Change is a critical component in any American educational organization. Leadership is essential to implement innovation or new practice, to make mid-course corrections when problems arise and to create a culture in which planning for change is an integral part of the culture. Understanding the need for change, the nature of change, the change process, and the research on change provides a leader with tools to be more effective in dealing with change within their organizations. The purpose of this course is to explore a variety of models and tools for implementing change successfully. We will do this by investigating the characteristics of leadership as they apply to changing basic educational organizational structures and processes.
