EADM 264A - Framing Problems and Making Decisions
Semester Hours: 4
Once a Year
Examines the processes of problem-framing and decision-making in educational organizations. The focus is on the general ideas and concepts that decision-makers use, or could use, to think systematically about the problems they face. Frameworks for conceptualizing issues, tools for selecting alternatives, and issues of implementation are examined. Understanding how to use school and district data to make decisions and formulate policy is emphasized. A broad array of analytical tools is applied to resolve simulated and real problems. Competencies are developed through case studies, role-playing, lecture/discussion, team and individual assignments, and substantive readings. Achievement is determined through the quality and degree of mastery demonstrated in the undertaking of these activities.
