Education Specialist

The purpose of the Education Specialist in Educational Leadership is to prepare leaders who will make a difference as moral agents and sensitive social advocates for the children and the communities they serve; who will focus on the central issues of learning and teaching and school improvement; who will make strong connections as they reflect Christian values with others as individuals and as members of the educational community.

Objectives of the Program

Students in the Ed.S. in Educational Leadership Program will:

Demonstrate within their disciplines advanced knowledge and skills.
Display competency in the critical evaluation of issues, trends and methodologies.
Demonstrate the ability to apply research that extends the body of knowledge in the field.
Enhance their ethical decision-making ability through an academic environment integrated with the Christian faith.
Build intellectual and moral knowledge to cope with a pluralistic world in order to better serve communities and their schools.

The objectives are met within the context of a set of standards developed by the Educational Leadership Constituent Council of the Council for Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP).
