*Only Offered for Online Ed.M. Students* This module is dedicated to improving teaching and learning in schools, systems, and organizations. As a teaching team of practitioners, we believe the way to improve student outcomes is to improve the instruction students receive every day in every classroom. Through this module, students will glean a deep understanding of how to improve teaching and learning at scale.  We will focus our attention on how to: lead a vision for teaching and learning, design data and action driven systems to serve all students, bolster strong instruction with a culture focused on caring, character development, and just communities, focus the role of the leader on agility to support educators in improving their practice, enhancing student outcomes, and strengthening family and community partnerships.  Tools and practical materials will be shared so that leaders are equipped with concrete resources to support instructional improvement.  Bridging the fields of education and business, this course integrates world-class faculty and research with best practices in educational leadership to provide school and organization leaders with frameworks, skills, and knowledge to effectively lead and drive learning, change, and improvement. This module is open to all interested students.
