Master of Arts in Accomplished Collaborative Leadership
Lead Faculty:
Dr. Sidney R. Castle
This program is designed for teachers who wish to become National Board Certified and who also want to develop the leadership skills necessary to work collaboratively with school administrators to effect meaningful school change. An accomplished school leader is a teacher with National Board Certification who may assume a collaborative leadership role by leading the school through serving on school committees, acting as club sponsors, or team coaches, and may work with administrators as a change agent within the school. This program combines the MAT NBCT courses and the MAT 650 series courses that were developed using textbooks from Dr. Doug Reeves Leadership and Learning Center (LLC) in Denver, Colorado. At the conclusion of the program, in addition to receiving a master of arts degree, candidates have an opportunity to submit their portfolios and take the exam required for the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards certification process.
