Leadership in Education

We embrace the four leadership strands that define the leadership preparation programs in the Graduate School of Education: organizational, instructional, public, and evidence-based. We also strive to deliver these in a system which embraces equity and believes in the achievement of all children.

In addressing these strands and emphases, we have developed programs that improve instruction, the school, the district, and diversity.  We strive to prepare leaders to address the complex issues of today consistent with research and best practices.
