ELP 619 - Leadership for Pupil Services Credits: 3

Designed for students in administrator certification programs who want to develop skills necessary to provide leadership for pupil services programs in school organizations. Areas of focus include: organization and development of pupil services; team approaches for meeting individual student needs in inclusive learning environments; underlying assumptions of pupil services programs; supervision and staffing; financing; and crisis prevention and response management. Attention will be given to roles of building principals and central office staff in pupil services programs.
