The Graduate Studies in Education program offers two leadership concentration areas: Educational Leadership and Instructional Leadership. This degree program provides the student with a comprehensive and relevant curriculum, which is presented within a sequence that best meets the need of the future educational leader. The 36 credit hour, two year program is designed to meet the continuing education and professional development needs of Florida public and private educators.
The Educational Leadership curriculum and the Instructional Leadership curriculum consists of a coherent set of non-sequential courses comprising three domains: educational psychology/sociology, curriculum, and educational leadership. Coursework in this program will emphasize the cogent theories, policies, and practical aspects of education.
Each course is designed to assist the student in the mastery of the State of Florida Accomplished Practices for Teachers of the 21st Century, Professional Level, the Florida Principal Competencies, the Florida Principal Leadership Standards, the Florida System of School Improvement and Accountability, and the Guidelines for Certification in Education Leadership.
