About the M.Ed. and Ed.S. in Teacher Leadership
Who has the most significant impact on student achievement and school outcomes? Teacher Leaders. Are you ready to cultivate your leadership skills to make a difference beyond your classroom from within your classroom?
NLU’s online Teacher Leadership program is for licensed teachers who want to remain instructional leaders in their classrooms and take on school-wide instructional leadership roles to support continuous improvement.
Aligned to the National Teacher Leader Model Standards, our program develops teacher leaders committed to promoting and advancing social justice and educational equity. In this program, you’ll learn how to analyze data and leverage research to drive classroom and school decision-making, engage stakeholders to better support student learning, provide effective instructional coaching, and promote a collaborative school culture.
Prepared to become agents of change, graduates of our program take on roles such as Instructional Coaches, Lead Teachers, Team Leaders, Curriculum Specialists, Grade Level Leaders, and more. In the fully online Teacher Leadership courses, your activities will directly relate to problems of practice, providing the opportunity to customize your learning to your students, your school, and your community.
