M.A. Education Teacher Leader Overview

Campbellsville University’s online Master of Arts in Education Teacher Leader program prepares you to lead and mentor fellow faculty members. You’ll acquire the skills and tools that education administrators are seeking in new leaders. The degree offers six professional specialty options, and you can earn endorsements to accompany the affordable program.

The online teacher leader program’s core curriculum introduces you to teacher leadership skills and explores different leadership styles. You will also examine and use the practical skills in student assessment that are necessary for curriculum planning. The degree covers technology in the classroom for public school teachers and how to apply technology in such a way that all students will learn.

Finally, the online teacher leader program includes two action research practicum courses. The action research practicums incorporate the research and knowledge acquired from the other courses to provide real-world experience in the field. You will examine a group of students, define any learning problems, research possible mediations and collect data. You will then evaluate the effect of the intervention and collaborate the findings with colleagues.
