Teacher Leadership (Development)
The graduate program in Teacher Leadership (Development) is designed for teachers who want to continue developing their professional commitment and competence. Graduate students in the program examine current educational theory and practice and explore a variety of viewpoints to reflectively develop their professional competence and teaching style. They explore social issues affecting students and expand their awareness of and respect for the unique development of each student. During their course work, they consider effective collaboration with and accountability to students, parents, colleagues, and the community. Reexamining the development of values and professional ethics, students gain greater intellectual and ethical insight.
Curriculum Requirements
The Teacher Leadership (Development) program consists of 32-33 hours of course work. The program can be completed in five semesters (which includes summers). Students may choose to proceed at a slower pace. Additional curriculum information can be found in the graduate catalog. Complete McKendree 2007-08 Graduate Catalog (RTF)
