MA/MS in Educational Administration and Supervision

This online master's degree prepares educators to lead in schools and districts. Students apply leadership theory to practical instructional decisions and develop the habit of analytical thinking and sound ethical judgment expected of school leaders. The curriculum is taught by instructors who have worked as principals and other educational leaders, and it emphasises research methods, evidence-based practice and the state and national standards that influence schools. Online delivery suits working teachers who want to study while employed. Learners can follow a specialty track in the principalship or in supervision. Pennsylvania certification requires meeting additional criteria set out on each concentration page, including a supervised internship under a mentor who holds the relevant certification. Candidates can begin at several points in the year, which keeps the schedule workable for teachers who are already employed in schools.
