The redesigned K12 Master’s Degree program is now called Master’s Degree in Instructional Leadership to reflect the most important role that school administrators now play – that of the instructional leader of a school. The redesigned curriculum reflects alignment to the new Alabama State Standards for School Leadership, adopted in 2006.  The program leads to Class “A” Administrative Certification in Alabama.

 

Local and area school district personnel have had an integral part in the redesign process, insuring that the new Master’s Degree in Instructional Leadership is current in curriculum content, consistent with researched best practices, relevant in field experiences, and rigorous in its expectations of future school leaders.

 

The Master’s Degree in Instructional Leadership consists of six courses with course embedded field experiences and a 10-day residency experience.  Students proceed through the courses in sequence, finishing in 4 semesters.

 

Cohorts will be available in the Partner Districts of Hoover City/St. Clair County. A cohort on the campus of UAB will also be available.
