EDU 760 School Business Management

A study of the principles and methods of school business management based upon a biblical perspective of leadership, planning, and stewardship of time and resources. As a context for specific professional practice, students study external forces that affect their schools, e.g. globalization, the digital revolution, and other socio-economic trends. The implications of these forces for professional practice are studied and applied to strategic, instructional, and technology planning, budgeting and finance, compensation, purchasing, facilities capitalization, the strategic allocation of resources, time management, and board relations. To give students direct experience on how technology can contribute to the learning process and can leverage scarce resources and increase ROI, portions of this course are blended with online collaboration tools. Prerequisite(s): EDU 720. 3 hours
