Program Overview
The Graduate Certificate in School Administration and Supervision combines evidence-based research with practical experience to give emerging leaders in K–12 school settings the tools they need to transform schools and sustain effective change. The program affords candidates the opportunity to combine real-world experience with current best practices in leadership, curriculum, instruction, school law, technology, and other areas.
The online certificate has two options: One is open to any district-employed certified teacher or other certified personnel; the second is especially for Johns Hopkins Teach For America Corps members.
Applicants must hold a master’s degree and be certified teachers or other certified school personnel currently employed by a school district or accredited independent school. The program is approved by the Maryland State Department of Education for Administrator I certification. Program options are also appropriate for department chairs, team leaders, or curriculum coordinators.
*Note: As of October 15, 2020, Maryland State Department of Education requires candidates seeking Administrator I certification to complete three credits in special education (COMAR 13A.12.04.01). You may earn the credits through the School of Education or transfer them in from another institution.
