The Master of Education (M.Ed.) in Educational Leadership and Policy aligns with the College of Education and Human Development's commitment to social justice. The program specifically addresses urban education systems, leadership roles, community-based educational contexts, and policy frameworks affecting urban schools. Temple University's College of Education and Human Development offers this 30-36 credit graduate program to equip students with ethical leadership strategies for educational institutions and community organizations. Participants can specialize in Education Policy, School Leadership, or Urban Education, gaining expertise in policy analysis, sociocultural influences on education, equity issues, and contemporary reform movements. The curriculum builds comprehensive knowledge about school systems, urban educational challenges, research methodologies, and policy development. Students learn to critically analyze research and apply findings to real-world educational scenarios while understanding the distinctive dynamics of urban learning environments.
Graduates will acquire skills to evaluate school effectiveness through comprehensive assessment methods and cultivate leadership capabilities to drive institutional improvement and standards-based reforms. The program partially satisfies Pennsylvania's certification requirements for Principal or Supervisor of Curriculum and Instruction roles.
