EDU 531 Overview

This course is a directed study, independent course. Students in this class have one or more Wisconsin Administrative licenses and are seeking the Director of Instruction license (Wisconsin DPI license #10). Students in this course have also completed EDU 530. EDU 531 is the second of two 1-credit classes to be completed for the student to be eligible for the Director of Instruction license. Successful completion, defined as achieving a grade of “B” or better, of this course and EDU 530 will result in the student being eligible for Wisconsin License #10 as a Director of Instruction. The course is two-pronged. The student will engage a supervised practicum of experiences in the areas of responsibility of a Director of Instruction. Supervision will be provided by the Instructor and a District Supervisor. In addition, the student will complete a Field Work Experience, which is a project done by the student in the district during the course of study that is also reflective of areas of responsibility for a Director of Instruction. A summarizing paper, meeting APA specifications, is required as part of the Field Work Experience.
