(5 credits)

The future of education presents an unprecedented opportunity to shape systems that better serve individuals, communities, and society at large. To seize these opportunities, leaders must not only imagine the future but also guide others through the complex, adaptive changes required to realize new visions. This course is designed to equip future leaders with tools for self-reflection and growth, enabling them to understand their own reactions during change, manage both personal and adaptive challenges, and develop the self-awareness and resilience necessary to lead transformational efforts. As a core course for all leadership specializations, it introduces foundational intrapersonal theories and models, offering a critical framework for leading change effectively.  

Note: The Main Issue and ultimately the Problem of Practice that you select must be aligned to your degree specialization. For example: If you are in the Early Childhood Education specialization, the Main Issue and the Problem of Practice for your capstone must focus on that educational specialization.
