This course is designed for candidates to examine demographic and achievement data in their school against a backdrop of current educational issues. Candidates will analyze data and develop a proposal for a School Improvement Plan/Capstone Research project. This plan will include the description of the problem, a literature review, a description of the plan, the data analysis, and the research methodology relevant to the Capstone proposal. The SIP (Capstone project) will be implemented in EDA614. Frameworks, theories, practices, and techniques used for conducting research related to school/teacher leadership will also be examined.
