The advanced degree programs in instructional leadership have
been designed to provide students with an intellectual environment
that enables them to take leadership positions in the areas of
curriculum, learning and 
instruction.
Students are expected not only to reflect upon and improve their
own professional practices but also to develop leadership in
facilitating the growth and development of other educators.
