Non-Degree and Non-Credit Programs

Professional Development in Educational Leadership

The four-course sequence is designed to provide advanced studies and professional development for teachers holding a master’s degree. Based on the recommended changes in the licensure of school administrators by the VDOE, teachers who currently have a master’s degree can be eligible for preK-12 administration and supervision endorsement if they complete prescribed coursework which satisfied VDOE Alternative Licensure Requirements for Educational Leaders. This certificate satisfied the requirements set forth by the VDOE.

Course Sequence:
EDEL 612. Introduction to School Adminstration (3)
EDEL 614. Supervision and Evaluation of Instruction (3)
EDEL 630. Legal and Ethical Dimensions of School Law (3)
EDEL 690. Internship in School Administration (6)

In most instances, the sequence will begin in the fall semester and conclude in the following summer session.

Applicants for the certificate must meet existing admissions standards for the Educational Leadership graduate program. In Addition, persons seeking admission to the certificate must have a master’s degree and be under consideration for administrative duties or employment in a school division.
