The Educational Leadership Program has a statewide mission to prepare principals and superintendents for leadership positions in Alaska schools. The Educational Leadership goals are to:

• Develop dynamic, visionary and reflective leaders who comprehend and facilitate innovative approaches to academic excellence
• Develop collaborative practitioners who foster critical thinking, stewardship, and participation with all segments of a school community
• Develop leaders who possess the skills and behaviors to meet the evolving challenges and demands of our complex and diverse educational environments
• Provide curriculum and field experiences that reflect current performance standards, accountability, and adaptability and professional ethics.
  

Through participation in distance courses or a combination of distance and face to face classes (hybrid), candidates in the program can complete either a Masters of Education in Educational Leadership, or receive a Graduate Certificate in Education Leadership: Principal, or Graduate Certificate in Education Leadership: Superintendent.

A Doctorate in Education is currently being developed by the UAA College of Education. For more information and to contribute ideas on the doctorate please visit: http://engagedleadership.ning.com/
