EDP-5982: School Law, Ethics & Human Resource Mgmt

This course will focus on both the ethical and legal dimensions of leadership with an emphasis on resolving conflicts in the school community and explicitly address the principal’s role in the critical process of hiring and firing school staff. Students will examine actual legal cases and ethical dilemmas for the purpose of understanding the role of the leader in creating and maintaining an educational environment that protects and nurtures equity, fairness, tolerance, and respect for the individual. Additionally, students will explore the issues involved from legal, ethical, and educational perspectives. Special attention will be given to the complexities of providing professional support and development for weaker staff members, while still protecting the academic integrity of the school and meeting the needs of students for high quality educational experiences. In addition to your time in class, there will be a required online component for this course.
