Description

This course serves as the culminating experience for aspiring K-12 building-level leaders, integrating research and practitioner knowledge to develop leadership competencies. The capstone requires candidates to apply knowledge from coursework, research and their internship experiences to address real-world challenges in educational settings, utilizing both evidence-based research and practical insights from the field. Students will create a written proposal addressing a critical issue in education and present it, demonstrating their ability to bridge research and practice to lead effectively at the K-12 building level. Students register for the two-credit course in the fall semester and again in the spring semester. Credits are repeatable (4 s.h., two earned each semester). Prerequisites: EDU595 and EDU596
