Educational Leadership

The Educational Leadership concentration represents 15-credits of the Master’s Degree in Education online program. The concentration is primarily designed for professional 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.
