"The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them."    Albert Einstein

The Silver Lake College Graduate Education Programs of Administrative Leadership and Teacher Leadership offer Master of Arts in Education degrees, provide professional development for teachers and administrators and meet the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction requirements for the following Educator licenses: Teaching - #316 Reading, and School Administration - #51 K-12 Principal, #80 Director of Special Education and Pupil Services, #10 Director of Instruction, #08 School Business Administrator.

Each component of the Graduate Education competency-based programs supports and builds upon the SLC Teacher Education Program core dimensions of scholarship/leadership, commitment to others and reflective practice.

The graduate programs are based on the assumption that significant school improvement can only be accomplished if there is informed and effective leadership at all levels within the educational setting. Curriculum is designed to help classroom teachers and potential school administrators acquire the knowledge, skills and dispositions needed for effective leadership in the 21st century, specifically to:

identify and acquire skills needed to provide more responsive forms of leadership,

understand how to create organizations which are responsive to individual needs and to cultural diversity,

acquire and apply new knowledge and use appropriate technologies in the service of human beings.

 Both programs meet the Wisconsin standards for school administrators and teachers.
