A respected leader in teacher education, Â鶹´«Ã½ University’s Master of Arts in Education program introduces a Teacher-Leader Cohort, an advanced program focused on developing leadership skills in today’s teachers, to begin in the fall 2014 semester.

Ideal for currently licensed teachers of all grade levels, this cohort-modeled program is designed to be completed in two years with courses being offered only one day a week, convenient for busy educators.
