Program Description:
The M.A.Ed. in Educational Supervision requires a minimum of 30 semester hours. This degree program is designed specifically for international English-speaking schools to prepare school leaders for positions such as principals, assistant principals, teacher leaders, instructional coaches, and directors. Two key pillars of the program are: 1) developing leaders to provide more equitable outcomes for all students and, 2) teaching scholar-practitioners to use Improvement Science to analyze the root causes of problems and lead teams to create sustainable positive change in schools.
A cohort model is used to build a strong network of professionals. We blend theory and practice as we prepare educational leaders on the following leadership standards: Mission, Vision, and Improvement; Ethics and Professional Norms; Equity; Inclusiveness, and Cultural Responsiveness; Learning and Instruction; Community and External Leadership; Operations and Management; and Building Professional Capacity (National Policy Board for Educational Administration, 2018).
Some courses are offered completely online. Some courses are offered in a hybrid format, meeting approximately one-week (Mon-Fri) in-person for 3 hours in the evening, with the rest of the course format occurring online.
This program does not lead to North Carolina principal licensure.
