I just finished another class towards my doctorate in Educational Leadership through Liberty University<\/a>.\u00a0 I have really enjoyed this program so far because Liberty does a great job of marrying the theory with the application.\u00a0 I am in my 8th year at North Cobb Christian School <\/a>and my 4th year as a principal.\u00a0 I have a lot of great experiences under my belt, but also a lot to learn.\u00a0 This class was EDUC 745 Systems Analysis and it was one of the best classes in the program.<\/p>\n

The book for the class is Organizational Behavior in Education: Leadership and School Reform<\/a> by Robert G. Owens and Thomas C. Valesky.\u00a0 This book is written in a way that makes sense to leaders from all walks of life.\u00a0 There are a lot of educational theories discussed throughout along with business practices and solid leadership fundamentals.\u00a0 The book itself is not written from a biblical perspective, but the integration of our professor’s discussion board posts and other class projects, it became very clear that Christians should be excellent leaders in education.\u00a0 I know that is my goal.<\/p>\n

I highlighted several things while reading this textbook.\u00a0 I’ll paste a few below to give you an idea of what a great resource this is…<\/p>\n
