ILA 6643 - Human Resource Administration

3 Semester Hour(s)

From a budgetary perspective, the most important aspects of education are those things, which get the most funding. In a typical budget, personnel (salaries and retirement) receive about 80% of the expenditures. This course will deal with the selection, staffing and development of all school personnel. Special attention will be given to the legal issues relating to human resource management. The candidate will learn how to establish a professional culture driven by a shared vision, goals and objectives for the well-being of every student while setting high expectations, ethical, and equitable practices, collaboration, integrity, and continuous improvement. Using collaborative practices and professional feedback, the candidate will examine the applicability of roles, trends, and research in order to improve the execution of strategic plans for managing staff resources related to school improvement and student learning. Candidates should expect to spend some hours in clinically related activities as part of this course.
