Adapted from Microsoft's Partners in Learning, the //**School Leader Development: Building 21st Century Schools**// program is designed to be an instructional tool and is intended to serve as a guide for principals as they help prepare students for post-secondary education, work, and life in the 21st century. This unique curriculum uses multimedia to present potential challenges that you may face as a principal.

The structure of this course includes four modules. Each module will present you with a Challenge topic. You will be asked to work through a process known as the Challenge Cycle. As you begin each module's Challenge Cycle your assignment will be to reflect, initially, on the essential questions that are relevant to the Challenge topic. Next, you will analyze case studies and other supplemental resources. You will have time to reflect on what you observe, hear, and read. Then you will use the discussion area to post your comments and respond to comments provided by your colleagues and the course facilitator. You are encouraged to candidly and honestly share your perspectives on issues; identify problems and make meaningful suggestions to help solve problems; and, demonstrate collegiality with others during discussions.

Please remember to use proper //[|netiquette]// n the discussion area.
