Educational Leadership

The Department of Educational Leadership's mission is to prepare quality candidates to serve as superintendents, principals, and teacher leaders.

The M.S. Ed. and Ed.S. programs actively engage students in courses that focus on the essential elements of leadership necessary for successfully guiding the effective and efficient operation of our schools.

The M.S.Ed. program is structured to prepare candidates to serve at the school building level as Teacher Leaders and to prepare candidates for admission to the Principal Endorsement Program. The Ed.S. program focuses on the preparation of candidates to serve as superintendents and other central office administration providing quality leadership at the school district level. The programs are actively reviewed and improved as the field of educational administration evolves. The commitment to continuous improvement is shown in the design and implementation of the new two tier principal endorsement program.
