Welcome to Department of Educational Leadership
The Bagwell College of Education’s Department of Educational Leadership is designed to provide educators with the foundation, advanced knowledge and relevant skills to make a difference in schools and communities today and for the future. Our goal is to provide authentic, relevant instruction to students and to assist educators in meeting their career goals and objectives.
Kennesaw State University’s programs in Educational Leadership, Teacher Leadership, and Higher Education Administration provide opportunities for students to synthesize and apply knowledge and practice. Throughout their studies, students develop the skills identified in professional standards through substantial, sustained, standards-based work in real settings. Educational Leadership and Teacher Leadership curricula are planned and guided cooperatively by the institution and school district personnel and with state assessment standards.
Bagwell’s Department of Educational Leadership is committed to providing support to educational leaders in completing certification and degree status of our performance-based programs. It is our goal to make the difference in a student’s educational experience.
Please note: The GaPSC requires that students complete assessments prior to enrollment and completion
in programs that lead to certification (M.Ed., Tier I Certification Only, Ed.S., Tier
II Certification Only). The Ethics Entrance Exam must be taken prior to enrollment
in certification programs, and the Ethics Exit Exam and GACE or PASL (Tier I and Tier
II, respectively) must be taken prior to completion. Students who have taken the Ethics
Exams in a M.Ed./Tier I program do not need to re-take for enrollment into the Ed.S./Tier
II.
