Course Description

Great teachers are also great leaders. This graduate-level course is designed for educators who want to deepen their understanding of effective leadership styles and how they directly impact student engagement, motivation, and learning outcomes.

Through an in-depth exploration of transformational, transactional, democratic, autocratic, charismatic, and servant leadership, you’ll assess the strengths and applications of each style within your classroom. By blending theory with practical application, you’ll engage in reflective practice, peer discussions, and real-world case studies to develop a leadership approach that aligns with your unique teaching philosophy and meets the diverse needs of your students.

By the end of the course, you will have a personalized professional development plan that includes ongoing reflection, peer feedback, and actionable strategies to enhance your leadership skills and create a more dynamic, supportive, and engaging learning environment.

Empower yourself as an educator—because strong leadership transforms classrooms.
