Foundations of Educational Leadership, Graduate Certificate

Our brand-new Foundations of Educational Leadership Certificate prepares students for an array of K-12 roles at the school- and district-level and is offered in an online format using a cohort approach. Working teachers have built-in peer support as well as asynchronous learning engagement. Online coursework is enhanced by virtual, synchronous interactive sessions as scheduled by the instructor.​ The certificate encompasses 4 compressed classes, so students take no more than one at a time. Certificate courses ready candidates for K-12 roles such as master teacher, instructional coach, curriculum specialist, teacher support specialist, and more. All 4 certificate courses can be applied directly to our MAT Curriculum & Instruction with Educational Leadership Concentration.
