Overview
The MA _ admin credential program also known as Principal Leadership institute (PLI) includes conventional coursework and a structured practicum in the student’s current school and/or district. Most classes employ a problem-based pedagogical model in which graduate students complete group and individual tasks designed to reflect the “real” life of their work in schools. All courses emphasize a theory to practice connection, and courses are taught by instructors from the university and from practice
The program lasts approximately 14 months. In the first seven-week summer session, classes meet four days a week. In Fall and Spring, classes meet nights and weekends. The final summer classes meet three afternoons a week for five weeks. The intensive program schedule is designed to provide rigorous content and multiple experiences in order to assure solid preparation for the role of administrator.
