Alternative Areas of Emphasis – 12 hours
This option is designed for Teacher Leader candidates who want to add skills and knowledge not defined in the other areas of TL specialization. For example, a candidate may want to pursue advanced courses related to assessment or instructional design. The candidate works with his or her advisor to identify a graduate faculty consultant with expertise in the candidate's area of emphasis. The candidate, advisor, faculty consultant (who may be the advisor), and department chairs complete and sign the curriculum contract that lists the approved courses for the alternative area of emphasis.
The selected area of emphasis MUST:
- Enhance the competency of the initial teaching certification;
- Add a certification area not covered by the initial certificate; OR
- Advance professionally to a higher position.
This option requires a signed curriculum contract that lists the courses required in the alternative area of emphasis.
