Overview
In the Catholic and Faith-Based Educational Leadership program at Fordham University we offer two paths to study and explore educational leadership in the context of mission-integrity and all that it implies.
- The first path, School Building Leadership, leads to eligibility for New York State School Building Leader (SBL) Certification. This certification is appropriate for such positions as president, principal, supervisor, department chair, assistant principal, coordinator and unit head.
- The second path, Administration and Supervision, is for candidates who wish to develop their knowledge and skills for a leadership role in education at a particular site, either in the United States or internationally, but who are not seeking New York State School Building Leader (SBL) Certification.
Features
The master's program follows a cohort model and is organized with a focus on adult learning theory, utilizing action research, group projects, critical reflection, clinical application, problem-based simulations, policy analysis and two semesters of internships.
