Vision The vision of the Master of Education in Administration program is to foster in aspiring and current principals a deeply held belief in the capacity of every student to achieve economic, intellectual, and social success presently and throughout life. Graduates of the program will thoughtfully challenge the status quo; assumptions about teaching, learning, and the curriculum that might marginalize certain students; and structures and practices that inhibit student learning. Graduates will demonstrate a commitment to the learning of all members of the school they lead and will create nurturing learning communities that inspire teachers to commit to improvement as a professional obligation to the students they teach.Guiding Principles Graduates of the MEd in Administration
