| What is a 36-hour Master of Education in Instructional Leadership degree? |
This degree prepares candidates to lead schools in the continuous improvement of teaching and learning. Our candidates are instructors and other education personnel who desire to work on campuses as teacher-leaders, instructional specialists, and coordinators, or in central administration offices as elementary coordinators, secondary coordinators, curriculum directors or program directors.
In this program you will learn leadership skills which will teach you how to: |
|
Support the education community in the implementation of federal and state guidelines. |
|
Communicate effectively with people in your school, district or organization to facilitate change within a culture of diversity, |
|
Facilitate group processes so that goals can be achieved through effective collaboration between all members of the learning community, |
|
Select, implement and evaluate educational programs that meet the goals of the school, district, community or organization, |
|
Design, implement and evaluate curriculum that meets the needs of the school, district, community or organization, and |
|
Monitor and improve instruction to include research-based practices that ensure learning for all. |
|
In addition, you will take 12 hours of advanced coursework in a specific content area such as math, reading, science, etc. These hours count toward your achieving “Highly Qualified” status under the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) legislation. Your 12 hours can also work toward your qualification to teach at community colleges and some universities who require master’s degrees and 18-24 semester hours of graduate level coursework in a content area.
And… if you decide that you want to pursue a principal’s certificate after you complete your degree, you will only need 9-12 semester hours!
