Program Description
The Educational Administration program reflects the current standards established by the Educational Leadership Constituent Council (ELCC), the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) and the Department of Education of Puerto Rico. The program prepares experienced leaders and PK-12 school and district director candidates who demonstrate leadership skills in teaching, management and operations, parent and community participation, and who promote a professional culture. The ultimate goal is to create competent, caring, and qualified educators, based on the principles of the Council for the Accreditation of Education Program (CAEP). The certification components are exclusively tailored for Puerto Rico.
Learning Outcomes
Graduates will be able to: (a) demonstrate a realistic understanding of the expectations and responsibilities of workplace administrators, (b) promote student learning, and (c) support professional development and personal success by cultivating a shared vision that puts the teaching and learning process at the center of education. They will also work effectively, safely, and efficiently by using resources to implement the curriculum, and programming, hire staff, create partnerships with families, community organizations, and other interested parties to support the specific school, district, or other educational missions, and to encourage and maintain a culture of reflective practice, high expectations, and continuous learning for all involved.
