MISSION STATEMENT

Our mission is to develop reflective educational leaders who perceive the social, political and cultural context within which education is embedded, and who foster more socially just, democratic forms of education while navigating in the current educational environment.

Courses in the Educational Leadership Department use the pedagogical principles that reflect the value, relevance and interconnectedness of theory and practice, and project- based assignments that are connected to current practice.
