The purpose of the Education Specialist Degree (Ed.S.) in Educational
Leadership is to prepare school leaders who will focus on the central issues of
teaching and learning and school improvement and who will make a difference as
moral agents and sensitive social advocates for the children and communities
they serve.
The Education Specialist Degree (Ed.S.) in Educational Leadership is offered
along two tracks: (1) Administration and Supervision (A&S), a licensure
track designed to prepare school principals and supervisors of instruction; and
(2) Curriculum and Supervision (C&S), a non-licensure track designed for
school leaders who desire knowledge of concepts and strategies for school and
classroom leadership. The degree is based on Union’s conceptual framework of A
Teacher-Student Dynamic of Sensitivity, Reflection and Faith. Union University
desires to prepare school leaders who are grounded in and committed to
excellence in teaching and learning with values based on our Judeo-Christian
heritage.
