Education in Leadership Coming Fall 2013

Campus Review

DREAMS. MADE REAL.
The new Master of Education in
Leadership (M.Ed. in Leadership) degree,
being rolled out for the fall semester 2013,
is considered to be one of Clayton State
University’s top priorities.
In the formal new program proposal, the
program was described as aligned with
Clayton State’s academic strategic plan.
The degree will serve the larger commu-
nity by strengthening teachers’ skills in
their ability to deliver instruction through
the same innovative methods used on
Clayton State’s campus and prepare their
students for a global society.
Dr. Ruth Caillouet, department chair of
Teacher Education states, “This degree is
important because it helps teachers to be bet-
ter leaders in their own school and commu-
nities.”
The proposal also let it be known that the
addition of this program will be a big step in
supporting Clayton State’s goal to reposition
itself in the higher education marketplace.
Following many of the University’s action
steps in its strategic plan, the teachers
enrolled in this program will actively
develop meaningful research projects and
service learning opportunities focused on
issues such as education reform and polit-
ical engagement that benefit surrounding
communities.
Teachers who wish to become stronger
leaders in their schools, districts, and
communities are the target candidates for
this degree. “This program will actively
recruit teachers from grades K-12 who
want to build on their leadership skills,”
comments Caillouet.
In completion of the degree, student
majors will be able to carry out and be
competent in all the program objectives.
