About this course

What will I learn?

The Master of Arts in Education: Teacher as Leader program allows you to attain Rank 2 teaching certification in Kentucky. This program consists of a 15-semester hour core and a selected area of concentration usually 15 semester hours. You may choose to add an additional endorsement or certification to your current teaching certificate, or pursue additional advanced coursework in your initial teaching area. The Teacher as Leader Program is designed to foster an educational culture in which instruction and learning are informed by research and continuous data collection and analysis, while embracing the NKU themes of diversity, technology, and civic engagement. The program requires 30 credit hours of graduate-level coursework earned beyond the bachelor’s degree and initial teacher certification. Kentucky Teacher Performance Standards are met through an action research project and other program experiences.
