This rigorous, standards-based leadership preparation program provides students with the knowledge and expertise to become transformative administrators or teacher leaders with deep and unwavering commitment to providing excellent and equitable educational opportunities for all students.
This program equips students with the skills to facilitate school-level and systemic change; create and sustain a culture of innovation and collaboration; successfully lead curriculum development; interpret and use data to support student success; provide effective feedback, support and evaluation for teachers; build a community network of support for students and schools; ensure equitable and excellent educational opportunities and support for all students.
The two-year online pathway is designed for preK-12 teachers who want a more defined role in their school district by becoming an Arizona certified supervisor. The program focuses on building important leadership and curriculum skills and allows students to take advantage of the college's Internet-based coursework. Students must be employed in a school-based position or have access to an ASU- and district-approved school placement that will serve as the laboratory of practice for applying the concepts, principles and leadership approaches learned through the coursework.
Available options under the master's degree in educational leadership program are designed to prepare teachers to meet Arizona requirements for supervision certification. Students seeking certification in a state other than Arizona should contact their state department of education to determine the principal or supervision certification requirements prior to applying.
