Quote:

“When I was an undergraduate student, attending face to face classes was not a priority because instructors just lectured. Professors at Troy use a variety of teaching methodologies and learning activities which increased my retention of course content. Online learning allowed me to learn at my own pace and helped me to become an effective learner. ”

Leadership in Education: Building Your Skills

TROY’s instructional leadership and administration graduate programs prepare you on the business of leading a school just as much as the curriculum.

Career progression in the P-12 education setting doesn’t just begin in the classroom and end in the principal’s office. Recognizing that not everyone pursuing leadership in education has their sights set on becoming a principal, the state of Alabama changed the requisite School Administration Degree program and introduced what is now known as Instructional Leadership Degrees.
