EDS-EDLD - Educational Specialist in Educational Leadership

The purpose of the Specialist in Educational Leadership (EdS) program is to develop school district leaders who are interested in becoming superintendents, central office administrators, program directors, and leaders in curriculum and instruction who are interested in advancing their professional skills and dispositions. The paramount strands of the EdS program will emphasize advanced communication skills, interpersonal relationship skills, ethical behavior, and attitudes regarding equal education for all students.
Through course work, educators will utilize research-based strategies in developing application skills in human, fiscal, legal, and political management. These skills will be honed through an advanced field experience consisting of a yearlong practicum developed in a collaborative method involving public school partners.
