This is the final course in the Ed.S. in Leadership for Social Change in Education program and gives students an opportunity to individualize the content of the courses by integrating the concepts and principles learned in the program in a meaningful way. Acting as change agents or change advocates, students will identify a problem within their individual organizations; present data illustrating the nature of the problem, and make recommendations, based on relevant social change theory, concepts, and principles, that will lead to an improvement of the human and social conditions in their organizations. To extend the learning experience, students will collect feedback on the viability of their individual plans from at least 10 stakeholders, compare and contrast the views, and cite revisions that should be made to their original plans to improve the efficacy of the project.
