Educational Leadership - Principal/Sup EDS
Interested in seeking both a principal and superintendent certificate? Effective school leadership, at the building and district level, requires an advanced and diverse skill set focused on leadership, collaboration, financial, facilities and human resource management, law, student achievement and educational equity. The William Woods University Education Specialist in Educational Leadership program (principal and superintendent) is designed to develop these skills and prepare the student for DESE certification expectations.
NOTE: Three years of DESE approved principal experience is required to be granted a superintendent/district-level certificate; other DESE specific requirements also apply. The coursework provides a pathway to both building-level and district-level school leadership.
