Graduate Certificate
This certificate program overlaps with the existing MA in Instructional Leadership. The MA in Instructional Leadership leads to a principal endorsement on an Illinois Professional Educator License. Because the MA in Dual Language Teacher Leadership (DLTL) is aligned with most of the standards required for the MA in Instructional Leadership, DLTL program completers only need to take two additional courses and complete an internship to earn the principal endorsement. This new certificate program, therefore, provides students with a way to add on a valuable credential.
All courses in the certificate program are aligned with the competencies/standards required by the Illinois State Board of Education for the principal endorsement.
All students seeking admission to this certificate program will need to go through the same admission process as required by the State of Illinois and Roosevelt University for all other students seeking the principal endorsement. Valid teacher's license required.
