作为代顿大学“领导教师”计划的学生，您将学到在建筑和地区行政管理之外寻求专业发展和领导机会所需的知识和技能。攻读该学位的教师应担任教学负责人，班主任，导师和课程委员会成员等角色。该计划中的所有候选人都必须完成“教师作为领导者”的核心顺序，专业领域有几种选择。教师领导课程不符合俄亥俄州政府颁发的教师领导认可的要求，后者是硕士后课程。
As a student in the Teacher as Leader program at the University of Dayton, you'll learn the knowledge and skills necessary to pursue professional development and leadership opportunities outside of building and district administration. Teachers pursuing this degree fulfill roles such as instructional leader, lead teacher, mentor teacher and curriculum committee member. All candidates in the program must complete the Teacher as Leader core sequence, several options are available for specialty areas. The Teacher as Leader program does not meet the requirements for the State of Ohio-issued Teacher Leader endorsement, which is a post-master's program.
