EDIT 8612 Leadership in Instructional Technology

This course serves as an advanced look at the field of Instructional Technology and Design and how to apply it in a P-12 environment. In addition to theoretical basics, more pragmatic skill sets for effective leadership, communications, managing change, and effective selective/evaluation of instructional infrastructures will be addressed. The ability to apply the skills as an internal leader/consultant will be integrated into the field experiences that augment this course. Candidates will demonstrate the ability to research, write, and propose grants for instructional technology sources for student and school funding.
