School Administration Program

Program Description

The program course of study for the Master of School Administration (MSA) degree is designed to prepare school executives as culturally responsive leaders who are able to transform marginalized communities. These leadership roles include superintendents, central office administrators, 校长, and assistant 校长.

The Guidelines and Competencies of the North Carolina State Department of Public. Instruction (NCDPI), the National Educational 领导 Preparation Standards (NELP), the Professional Standards for Educational 领导 (PSEL), and the Council for the 认证 of Educator Preparation (CAEP) serve as the template for the design of the Master of School Administration program.

Coursework emphasizes the core functions of high achieving schools: challenging curriculum, effective instruction, culturally responsive pedagogy, and student achievement. Effective 校长 are those who are able to create educational environments that are responsive to the needs of the school community. These 校长 are able to validate the cultural identity of community members as well as their educational history.

N.C. A&T MSA program offers a variety of program tracks to not only accommodate the diverse needs of all candidates, but to ensure that they possess the knowledge, skills and disposition needed to create culturally responsive educational environments.
