EDUCATIONAL ADMINISTRATION
| The Educational
Administration Program is designed to prepare educators for leadership positions in
learner-centered schools. The program vigorously addresses two areas of concern: (1) the
critical shortage of effective educational leaders in the field and (2) the constant
increase in the number of students in public schools. By providing opportunities for
teachers and other school personnel to advance to leadership positions, the program
focuses on bringing renewed vigor and vision to a changing school environment that is
learner-centered. |
