Online, stackable graduate certificates that lead to a full MA degree
To help teachers make a difference in their districts and communities, our innovative online Teacher Leadership program offers graduate certificates that can lead to a master’s degree. Our coursework threads reflective practices, content mastery and skill development throughout so that students can practice leadership skills as they engage with the curriculum. This program is offered entirely online and is organized around self-paced (i.e. course work completed at separate times) as well as real-time formats (i.e. meeting virtually at the same time).
To earn the master's degree, students will complete three graduate certificates. Each certificate blends together on-demand, self-paced online courses with a real-time capstone course held in the summer. These affordable certificates have been designed for educators looking to enhance their skills and capacities as classroom teachers and leaders and to make a difference in their schools and local communities. Students can choose to take classes and separately complete certificates without enrolling in the full MA program.
We offer a supportive community and flexible coursework designed to accommodate busy teachers’ schedules. We know that teachers lead busy, fast-paced, often overworked professional lives, and we have built these certificates with input from educators to help meet teachers’ needs. The certificate content and curriculum directly relates to teachers’ everyday practices while translating into practical tools that teachers can use in their own classrooms, schools and communities.
Currently, we are offering four graduate certificates in teacher leadership:
Other graduate certificates in development and aiming to launch between Fall 2021-2022 include:
