Program Overview
The Teacher Leadership for School Improvement (TLSI) program is an exciting and ever-changing job-embedded online program designed to meet the needs of practicing K-12 teachers and the students and communities they serve. This program allows a practicing educator to earn a Master in Education (M. Ed.) or Specialist in Education (Ed.S.) in Curriculum & Instruction with an concentration in Teacher Leadership for School Improvement.
Teachers can and do transform classrooms, schools, and communities. The TLSI program is designed to empower teachers by enhancing their knowledge, skills, and dispositions in the areas of teaching, research, and leadership and advocacy.
When teachers finish this program, they are able to provide evidence in their TLSI portfolio of their expertise instructionally, as a teacher researcher, and overall growth as a teacher leader and advocate for children.
Within the TSLI program, we frequently refer to our 3 goals of
- growth as a master teacher
- growth as a teacher researcher through the systematic study of your practice
- growth as a teacher leader and educational advocate
