Educational Leadership
Mission Statement
Leadership for equity, social justice and academic excellence is the mission of the educational leadership program at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. While we believe that school leaders must be proficient in a wide variety of technical skills and tasks to be successful educational administrators, we are first and foremost concerned with the agenda of constructing democratic learning communities which are positioned in the larger society to support an agenda of social action which removes all forms of injustice.
To this end we are committed to fashioning and infusing our courses with critically reflective curricula and methodologies which stimulate students to think beyond current behavioral and conceptual boundaries in order to study, research, and implement leadership practices that will fundamentally and holistically change schools in ways and in manners which are consistent with this vision.
