Certificate of Graduate Study in Teaching and Learning

Program Description
The Teaching and Learning COGS is designed for teachers who desire to develop and hone their leadership skills and who wish to remain in the classroom. The program approaches leadership from the perspectives of exemplary teaching, continuous learning for all, a need to balance change with stability and the importance of peaceful existence in a diverse community of learners. This COGS serves as the Core of the M.Ed. in Teacher Leadership.
