Why Choose an EdS in K-12 Leadership?
Do you want to be a pioneer in creating a collaborative community focused on student learning? If so, then you will need the right knowledge and the ability to strategize. GCU’s Education Specialist (EdS) in K-12 Leadership program is designed to equip you with these skills and can prepare you to advance to a position of leadership in today’s culturally and economically diverse educational communities.
Grand Canyon University’s EdS in K-12 Leadership program is offered by the College of Doctoral Studies and can be an alternative to our Doctor of Education (EdD) in Organizational Leadership with an Emphasis in K-12 Leadership program. Depending on your career goals, an EdS program may be the perfect fit for you. The following signs mean that you might benefit from choosing an EdS:
