The mission of the USC Rossier School of Education is to prepare leaders to achieve educational equity through practice, research and policy. We work to improve learning opportunities and outcomes in urban settings and to address disparities that affect historically marginalized groups. We teach our students to value and respect the cultural context of the communities in which they work and to interrogate the systems of power that shape policies and practices. Through innovative thinking and research, we strive to solve the most intractable educational problems.

The Organizational Change and Leadership Program is in search of an instructor to teach EDUC 603: Framing Organizational Change and Leadership. The purpose of this course is to help students begin to identify and research problems of practice particularly pertinent in urban learning. Essential to solving such problems of practice is the fair and accurate identification and representation of these problems. The presentation of problems of practice requires the use of sound evidence-based research to justify and support the statement of the problem as well as provide a history and background of a problem. This course is also designed to develop academic literacy skills that incorporate critical analysis in writing and speaking, the identification of and incorporation of different types of evidence to support assertions, and effective practices in presenting academic content.
