Urban Teacher Leadership
Master of Science (M.S.)
The program for the major in urban teacher leadership creates a cadre of teachers who will become change agents that positively affect their classrooms, their schools, their communities, and their school districts as well as the national conversation about educational change. Specifically, the program is for teachers who will remain in their classrooms while assuming leadership roles in the schools and in the larger context of the school community. The program is developed around a set of academic and field experiences that provide basic knowledge and skills for leadership in collaboration, writing for change, reflective thinking, problem solving, and the advocacy of excellence in urban education.This program has been developed specifically for teachers in urban school settings. Both experience in urban schools and urban research studies suggest that urban communities meet unique challenges that must be addressed by teachers in those schools. Students will collaborate inside and outside the classroom with cohort members, with university faculty, with community agencies, and with urban leaders. To complete the program, the student must develop a master's leadership project designed to effect school change. For more information go to the Educational Policy Studies website.
