Program description
The master of education (MEd)/professional studies program in leadership in education, offered jointly by the Department of Organizational Leadership, Policy, and Development (OLPD) and the Department of Curriculum and Instruction (C&I) in the College of Education and Human Development (CEHD), builds leadership skills and facilitates analysis of K-12 school culture, policies, and practice.
This program develops educational leaders who can serve in schools that foster continuous learning and improvement. Program participants are prepared to advance team, school-wide, and district-wide reform initiatives for coherent educational systems and programs. This program addresses formal and informal leadership methods, emphasizing the roles and contributions of teachers as leaders of instructional improvement, including ways that teachers and principals work together to promote collaborative school cultures.
This 30-semester credit program emphasizes the essential components of leadership, including collaboration, group dynamics, continuous professional learning, school policy, school culture, design and facilitation of improvement initiatives, innovations in teaching and assessment practice, creation of coherent learning experiences, cross-cultural education, and technology.
Students are encouraged to begin the program with other educators from the same school or district. Most students complete the degree in two to three years while continuing to teach full time. Some degree coursework is offered at convenient, off-campus sites in the Twin Cities area.
