BAAS: ORGANIZATIONAL LEADERSHIP TEACHER PREPARATION EMPHASIS

We have created a track within our existing Organizational Leadership degree specifically for paraprofessionals and other adult learners who are seeking a seamless path to alternative teacher certification after completing a bachelor’s degree.  This specially-created curriculum blends knowledge and skills-development as a leader, but also prepares students for a career trajectory as a K-12 teacher.  Students will complete a total of ten courses.  Three of these courses provide an applied focus on educational issues and leadership as well as career readiness to pursue teaching as a future occupation.
