Educational leadership allows you to set the direction for your school.
EDUCATIONAL LEADERSHIP
The Educational Leadership concentration is designed for K-12 educators who are considering school administration. These courses are matched to the national standards set by the Interstate School Leaders Licensure Consortium (ISLLC) and provide entry-level knowledge and skills for beginning school administrators. Teachers will be introduced to the theories and practices of effective leadership centering on the importance of team building, decision making, problem solving and strategic planning. Within these areas, focus is placed on supervision and evaluation of personnel, the legal milieu and analysis skills to interpret potential legal issues within the school, budget development and expenditure, and organizational theory especially as it relates to change. Specific state requirements for entry level into the assistant principal or principal level should be researched to ensure requirements for your locale will be met. Additional courses in Education Leadership are available for further study.
