ESD 830 - Human Resource Leadership (3)

This course will address the issues of the people that make up the system, who they are, what they expect, what they can contribute, and what they are likely to gain from engagement of all constituents in the educational setting. Other topics include: issues of what motivates people to become engaged in their work; issues of cultural competence in interpersonal relationships and communications; equitable and fair policies and practices; impact and challenges of diversity; and the building of capacity within the various ranks of the people who make up the school-community. Students will develop a set of strategies for use in implementing the policy that “nothing will be achieved by any individual, group of individuals or the organization as a whole until there is capacity for the change to take place.” Human relations and human resource management will be included in the content as they impact the policies and practices that contribute to the building of capacity and the personal/professional development of all members of the school-community.
