Concentration: K-12 Teacher Leadership (Effective Fall 2013)
This 30 hour concentration is designed to prepare graduate students for collaborative teacher leadership roles in K-12 schools, following national standards for teacher leadership. This program is specifically designed for teachers who do not wish to become administrators, but desire to take on leadership roles that contribute to the success of K-12 schools through improved student outcomes.
For those seeking the Michigan Administrator certificate, three additional courses beyond this concentration are required. Efforts are underway to have this concentration lead to the receipt of the MI Advanced Professional certification.
Please contact Mary McCrumb, advisor for the teacher leadership concentration, at if you have any questions.
