The Seattle University Educational Administration’s Theory of Action makes it unique among its peers, and creates the framework for a curriculum designed as an Inquiry into the Service of Leadership:
- We frontload context & scholarship, with a focus on critical theory, educational justice, instructional leadership and community engagement
- We partner applied learning with reflective practice, self understanding and advanced leadership study
- We work to build an expanding management toolbox
- We operate as a cohort, to establish a model network of professional learning & support
Courses
Graduate students in the EDAD program may pursue a Masters in Educational Administration (46 credits) and/or a post-masters Principal's Certification or Program Administrator's Certification (37 credits). The core program is designed to be completed within a cohort over four to five quarters, but may be spread over two years to meet individual circumstances.
