The School Leadership Program (SLP) is an intensive 11-month learning experience culminating in a Master’s in School Leadership and/or eligibility for Principal Certification. Our integrated program of study focuses on the dynamics of instructional, organizational, public, and evidence-based leadership with coursework designed to help students draw connections between theory and practice by applying learning in school settings. We emphasize cross-cutting competencies, including habits of mind, intrapersonal/interpersonal growth, reflective practice, communication skills and professionalism. Over the course of the program, our students inquire into their own practice and develop their identities as leaders, building confidence and excellence.
