Ed.<br \/> Summary of Course Analysis<br \/> This course is adapted to correlate with the \u201cResponsive Educator\u201d Conceptual Framework (RECF) of the Jackson State<br \/> University (JSU) College of Education and Human Development (COEHD). This framework rests on a foundation<br \/> consistent with the vision, mission, and core values of the JSU learning community. Wedded to its motto, \u201cExcellence in<br \/> Learning and Leadership,\u201d the responsive educator concept, as put forward in the COEHD, seeks to enact learning<br \/> experiences that are integral to the university\u2019s vision of offering \u201ca model urban learning community for highly motivated<br \/> students from diverse backgrounds.\u201d<br \/> The ultimate goal of the JSU COEHD is to positively impact the full range of K12 students. To this end, it strives to<br \/> provide learning opportunities for its candidates that are conducive to equipping completers who are qualified to :<br \/> ? Demonstrate leadership<br \/> ? Demonstrate learning<br \/> ? Foster learning<br \/> ? Facilitate collaboration<br \/> ? Nurture diversity<br \/> ? Integrate technology<br \/> ? Implement accountability systems<br \/> ? Develop instruction<br \/> ? Advocate wellness<br \/> The COEHD has adopted four outcomes that are applicable to candidates and completers in all schools, departments,<br \/> and programs of the unit. The COEHD is committed to the continual development, refinement, maintenance, and<br \/> enhancement of learning opportunities designed to facilitate candidate outcomes consistent with the unit\u2019s vision of the<br \/> \u201cresponsive educator,\u201d as one who provides and embodies:<br \/> ? A Committed Response<br \/> ? A Knowledgeable Response<br \/> ? A Skillful Response<br \/> ? A Professional Response<br \/> Upon completion of the COEHD Educational Leadership program or other COEHD programs (MAT), specific ELCC<br \/> standards mandate that:<br \/> 1) Standard 1.0: Candidates who complete the program are educational leaders who have the knowledge and<br \/> ability to promote the success of all students by facilitating the development, articulation, implementation, and<br \/> stewardship of a district vision of learning supported by the school community.<br \/> 2) Candidates who complete the program are educational leaders who have the knowledge and ability to promote<br \/> the success of all students by promoting a positive district culture, providing effective instructional programs,<br \/> applying best practice to student learning, and designing comprehensive professional growth plans for staff.<br \/> 3) Candidates who complete the program are educational leaders who have the knowledge and ability to promote<br \/> the success of all students by managing the organization, operations, and resources of a district in a way that<br \/> promotes a safe, efficient, and effective learning environment.<br \/> 4) Candidates who complete the program are educational leaders who have the knowledge and ability to promote<br \/> the success of all students by collaborating with families and other community members, responding to diverse<br \/> community interests and needs, and mobilizing community resources.<br \/> 5) Candidates who complete the program are educational leaders who have the knowledge and ability to promote<br \/> the success of all students by acting with integrity, fairly, and in an ethical manner.<br \/> 6) Candidates who complete the program are educational leaders who have the knowledge and ability to promote<br \/> Excellence in Learning and Leadership 2<br \/> the success of all students by understanding, responding to, and influencing the larger political, social,<br \/> economic, legal, and cultural context.<br \/> Applicable to these standards, course objectives, content, and assignments of this course is designed to provide<br \/> \u201ceducators\u201d with a comprehensive understanding of methods of educational research.
