M.Ed. Leadership For Teaching And Learning

About the Educational Leadership Program

Banner

Leading schools today is perhaps our most important profession. We believe quality school leaders transform lives. Prepare effectively. Prepare at Millersville.

Leadership in schools today is a critical and often difficult position that require preparation to equip the leader with the skills and information necessary for a rewarding career. The Master of Education degree in Leadership for Teaching and Learning through Millersville University is designed to prepare teachers for leadership roles such as principal, department head, curriculum director, and supervisor. The program philosophy is grounded in ethical leadership and strives to produce genuine leaders who can transform schools into learning communities that meet the needs of all stakeholders.

The program uses the strength of cohort groups whereby candidates advance through the program with a group of educators that rapidly become a source of personal support and a professional resource. This course of study provides a Master’s degree in education, a K-12 Principal certificate, and a K-12 Supervisor of Curriculum and Instruction certificate. Students holding a master’s degree may pursue the principal certificate and supervisory certificate separately. This program has been accredited by the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education and the Educational Leadership Constituent Council.
