THEORY AND PRACTICE

Education 439 is designed as an introduction to educational

administration. Students who complete this course should come away from

the experience with a more intelligent and insightful understanding of both

the dynamics of school operations and the environment in which schools

function. Particular emphasis will be given to the study of schools and

organizational behavior within schools. Students will also study the

environment within which schools operate thus gaining insights into the

politics of education, the economics of education, and the social and legal

factors influencing education.

This is a course for anyone who wishes to have an improved

understanding of how education is administered in Canada, and more

particularly, in British Columbia. The course is especially useful for those

students who are planning to become school principals, vice-principals,

superintendents of schools, or senior officials in the Ministry of Education.

It is particularly essential for those students who are planning to do

graduate studies in educational administration as it provides a broad

foundation for graduate work.
