In addition to full field certification preparation, Georgia State University offers preparation for the Teacher Leader Endorsement. Recommendation for endorsement requires appropriate teaching or school experiences and admission as a graduate student. This program requires at least a master's level certificate in teaching. Completion of three semester hours in each of the following areas qualifies students for master's or specialist level endorsement, depending upon the current level of certification:
1. Organizational Leadership
2. Supervision of Instruction
3. Curriculum Development
The courses in these areas will be determined in consultation with an adviser within the department offering the field or program in which the leadership endorsement is sought.
Total hours for endorsement: minimum of 9 semester hours.
