The M.Ed. in Educational Leadership program is a comprehensive and transformative Education Program that embraces a holistic and integral perspective throughout its learning structure. With a deep understanding of the central role education plays in the forming and development of culture, this program instills a sense of purpose and responsibility in aspiring educational leaders, preparing them for professional paths in coaching, facilitation, and leadership.
Focused on key contexts such as Developmental Coaching, Expressive and Movement Arts, Health Coaching, Collective Trauma and Social Healing, Transformative Leadership, Transformative Learning, and Organizational Development, this program goes beyond mere academic training. It recognizes that education cannot be limited to the transmission of information alone but acknowledges the need to develop the “vessel” of that information—the whole person, also. By nurturing this whole person perspective, our students have the opportunity to develop and grow on multiple levels, enabling them to respond to complexity challenges with grounded flexibility and creative problem-solving capabilities.
At the heart of this program is the understanding that education has the potential to create positive social impact with long-lasting and wide-ranging effects. Through transformative learning experiences, students are encouraged to question existing paradigms, challenge conventional wisdom, and explore innovative approaches to education to realize the positive impact they can have as educational leaders in the areas of Developmental Coaching, Expressive and Movement Arts, Health Coaching, and more.
This program equips individuals with the necessary tools and capabilities to support the development from their vocation to their profession, enabling them to make a lasting difference in the field of education and the world at large, especially in the context of Collective Trauma and Social Healing, Transformative Leadership, Transformative Learning, and Organizational Development.
The MEd in Educational Leadership program emphasizes the development of ethical leadership qualities and the promotion of diversity and cultural development. By nurturing the imagination, fostering self-awareness, and cultivating emotional intelligence, this program empowers individuals to become compassionate and empathetic educational leaders who can navigate complex challenges with integrity and wisdom. It recognizes the importance of human development, meaning making, and the integration of knowledge and values in the educational process. Through this comprehensive approach, the M.Ed. in Educational Leadership program prepares individuals to become catalysts for positive change in the world, dedicated to creating a more inclusive and equitable society for all, with a strong focus on the professional paths of coaching, facilitation, and leadership.
