The Leadership Fieldwork courses support students’ learning as either School Leadership or Teacher Leadership residents at one of the 13 High Tech High (HTH) clinical sites. Apprenticed to a school site critical friend director or teacher leader, students have the opportunity to shadow and observe the various skills and dispositions needed for effective leadership, from cultivating shared vision and purpose to observing and coaching teachers for deeper learning and equity. Students explore what it means to be an effective leader and analyze the intersection of theory and practice in their school setting. In particular, students examine how effective school leaders keep student learning and issues of equity at the center of their work. With the support of their school site critical friend and GSE fieldwork advisor, students observe and practice leadership activities connected to the California Professional Standards for Educational Leaders (CPSEL) and then document reflections of their learning. The reflections must be grounded in both theory and practice and demonstrate the student’s ability to elicit feedback and reflect on their development as leaders. For each course credit (three total for each course), students will need to document 45 hours of fieldwork.
