Program Description
The Master of Arts in Educational Leadership is based on the philosophy that respected leaders engage in a constant process of self-examination and transformation. Leaders transform themselves by questioning their assumptions, acquiring skills and knowledge, enriching their understanding, developing their compassion and realizing their dreams. While doing so, they encourage their staff and students to develop their potential. Simultaneously, their schools undergo transformation as they realize and revisit their School Improvement Plans.
Students completing the Master of Arts in Educational Leadership will demonstrate their successful realization of specific learning outcomes in their respective leadership settings.
