Jordan always thought she had the characteristics of a leader, but the thought of being a leader amidst her older colleagues was intimidating. Through the M.Ed. in Teacher Leadership, Jordan was able to step out of her comfort zone to effectively lead, not only with her students, but also with her colleagues.

At Oakland University, our Master of Education in Teacher Leadership degree is a fully online, cohort program designed for PK-12 educators who want to become a model of excellence and increase their influence as teacher leaders both in their classroom and educational community.
