|
|
Concentration Requirements - 18
This concentration allows the MA in Leadership participant to focus on leadership development in a K12 school setting. This 18-credit concentration matches the Principalship Certificate (see the Educational Leadership section). The LLP is signed off by two faculty members and requires participants to show a plan to fulfill eight of the 10 standards of the educational leadership program. Those in this program experience a learning community through online courses and the required participation in at least 7 online principalship webinars a year. Note: This concentration is compatible with the requirements of the North American Division Seventh-day Adventist K12 Principal Certification. However, individuals should work with the union credential specialist to determine a plan that will best fulfill this certification. If approval by the Educational Leadership Consortium Council (ELCC) or the Michigan Department of Education is desired please contact the director of the Educational Leadership programs for guidance: Dr. Janet Ledesma, jledesma@andrews.edu.
Those taking this concentration should select the Internship option in the core as their way to complete their research and portfolio options.
