The Education Specialist (Ed.S.) Degree in Change Leadership in Education is a 30-credit hour program providing experienced educators from deaf education and special education settings with the dispositions, knowledge, and skills they need to lead transformational change in their school systems (which include programs, schools, and entire school districts). Applicants must have at least three years of teaching or school administration experience and they must have a current professional certificate from their State Department of Education.
The Ed.S. degree program is also offered in collaboration with the Gallaudet Leadership Institute (GLI) for educators working in the field of deaf education. Applicants interested in the GLI should visit the GLI web page: http://gli.gallaudet.edu.
