The Educational Leadership Program develops the knowledge, skills and professional dispositions of servant leadership needed for effective school leadership.  We continually focus on matters of learning and teaching, and the creation of powerful educational communities that value and support all learners. Our work is to develop a deeper and more productive understanding of school leadership resulting in ethical actions reflecting integrity and fairness.
