LSDL Modules

Preparing Leaders to Support Diverse Learners:  Curriculum Modules for Leadership Preparation

What this is: 

With support from a USDOE FIPSE grant, UCEA is working with faculty teams from several institutions to develop curriculum modules focused on preparing leaders to support diverse learners.  These modules are designed to enhance the core curriculum used in UCEA school leadership programs. The instructional modules will be designed to offer critical content knowledge and learning experiences that strengthen leaders’ ability to support students’ academic achievement at low-performing schools. 

The Survey – UCEA-FIPSE Preparing Leaders to Support Diverse Learners (LSDL) Facilitators

  7. Learners are empowered and responsible for own learning
