Educational Leadership
Guide schools to great success in your new leading role.
Guide schools to great success in your new leading role.
Do people look to you for direction and advice? Are you a teacher who has longed to have more of an impact at your school? Have you been told you’re a natural born leader? If so, you’re an ideal candidate for our graduate educational leadership program that prepares you to take a leadership role in pre-K–12 schools. You’ll learn how to develop curriculum, refine student support services, work with the board at the school district level, and interact with government representatives. Through a combination of insightful classroom instruction and a strongly emphasized fieldwork component, you’ll graduate from our program ready to work in a traditional schools or alternative settings.
Our students bond with one another, learn from one another, disagree with one another, and ultimately become a network of professionals that I know will exist beyond the world of Brooklyn College.
