The mission of the Department of Educational Leadership, Policy, and Technology Studies is to prepare ethical and reflective practitioners, researchers, and scholars for work in K–12, higher education, and other educational settings. Through teaching and outreach, the department strives to promote the values, knowledge, and skills needed to improve education in the state and across the region, and, through the scholarly activities of its faculty and students, contribute to national research. Leadership in all areas requires an understanding of curricular, instructional, supervisory, and administrative processes—as well as awareness of the ever-changing social, political, legal, moral, and economic contexts of education. In line with the College’s conceptual framework, programs offered through the department meet these challenges by addressing the themes of student and community, disciplinary and pedagogic expertise, technology and assessment, collaboration and lifelong learning, and democracy and diversity. We respect diversity, honor difference, and promote social justice. The department also maintains an ongoing, open dialogue about educational improvement through its association with various federal, state, and local educational agencies and professional organizations.

The primary purpose of the Master of Arts degree (30 semester hours) in educational leadership is to provide students with the initial certification in Alabama for Instructional Leadership in P-12 schools. The coursework provides students with a thorough knowledge and understanding of the central concepts, tools of inquiry, and structures of the field of instructional leadership for schools. Candidates learn to work with students, families, and communities in ways that reflect the dispositions expected of educational leaders. The program content is consistent with state and national standards.

The Graduate Catalog is published annually. State-approved program checklists may be updated more frequently and are thus likely to provide the most up-to date information about requirements. A current program checklist may be obtained from the program office. Students should consult their advisors each semester before registering.
