Course Descriptions

The rigorous curriculum of the Master of Education in Educational Leadership includes the following courses:

  • EDEL 6113 Educational Leadership: Perspectives and Practices

    Educational Leadership: Perspectives and Practices is a foundational course that is attentive to the ways theoretical knowledge and applied practice can inform each other.

                  Leadership and Community Engagement teaches students to engage a range of community stakeholders in ways that benefit all those with vested interests. Identifying leaders as integral to this process, this course focuses on the complexities of community engagement and the various forms this engagement might take. The skills required of successful leaders of community engagement are explicitly connected to critical reflection and thoughtful praxis.

                                      Self-Directed Inquiry is designed to be the culmination of the Master of Education journey for students in the course-based pathway. It requires students to explore a specific area of research interest relevant to their field and to the designation that they are seeking. With the support of teaching faculty and each other, students will engage in discussions and assignments that support self-directed professional inquiry and their own professional learning. As such, students will focus equally on the demonstration of two competencies: conceptualizing, designing, and presenting a research inquiry that evidences criticality and creativity, individualized expression, and capacity to inform praxis; and the ability to communicate effectively at a level commensurate with graduate education.

                                      • EDUC 6093 Advanced Research Methods in Education

Connecting rigour to researcher consciousness through reflexive inquiry, students will begin to think about situating themselves theoretically (ontologically, epistemologically, and methodologically) in the context of potential research topics of interest. Engaging with scholarly discourse and critical dialogue, students will extend their capacities from evaluating published research to preparing to conceptualize, conduct, and analyze their own research.

                                        • EDUC 6123 Reflexive Inquiry

                                          Reflexive Inquiry provides students with grounding in critical reflexive practices that are integral to ongoing self- directed professional development. Honouring foundational principles of leadership and learning, this course centres on the intersection and dynamic relationship between theory and practice. Students must also complete either EDUC 7016 Major Academic Report or EDUC 7026 Action Research Project as the capstone course. Eligible students (i.e., those who have maintained a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher and who have successfully completed all core courses) may start work on EDUC 7016 or EDUC 7026 in Year II, Trimester 2.

                                              The Major Academic Report fulfills the graduation requirement for independent scholarly work. Students discuss and critique research relevant to an area of professional interest, as well as explore related possibilities for practice. The topic must be approved by the Office of the Dean of Education and the paper will be completed under the supervision of a qualified faculty member. After the topic is approved, and a proposal is developed with supervisory support, the proposal is submitted to the Capstone Coordinator and approvals to proceed must be received before the student begins inquiry activities. Both the proposal and final paper ought to include a description of the inquiry, the context or setting of the research, a theoretical framework (this includes methodology, theoretical perspectives relevant to research interest, methods, and researcher’s role), and a discussion of ethics. Additionally, the proposal should outline a 15-week work schedule. The final paper must be read and approved by both the supervising faculty member and a second reader. Additional details of the major academic report are available from the Office of the Dean of Education.

The project fulfills the graduation requirement for independent scholarly work. The student conducts an action research project within his or her work context, using a basic four-phase model: planning, acting, observing, and reflecting. A written proposal is to be submitted to the Office of the Dean of Education before students begin their inquiry activities. This proposal must clearly state the research question, describe the setting, introduce major theoretical areas to be considered, outline the planned activities, address ethical due diligence, and detail plans to share findings. Additionally, the proposal should outline a 15-week work schedule. The final paper must be read and approved by both the supervising faculty member and a second reader. Additional details of the action research project are available from the Office of the Dean of Education.

Learning Outcomes

The Master of Education program is designed for students holding a bachelor or first professional degree from varied academic backgrounds. The program provides students with courses and activities intended to prepare them for a specialized field of educational practice. Those already involved in the field are able to extend their professional knowledge and skills. Graduates of the Master of Education in Educational Leadership will be uniquely prepared as critically conscious, reflexive practitioners who understand the symbiotic relationship between theory and practice, and how to incorporate these two lenses with sound ethical and social responsibility.
Committed to providing a rich and rigorous graduate experience to diverse students, the program is guided by the following program outcomes:

      Students investigate the symbiotic and reflexive relationship between theory and practice and experiment with various approaches to applying the outcomes of systematic research. Graduates gain a grounded understanding of:

      • Multiple methods of research and inquiry in the field of leadership education;
      • Critical analysis and research evaluation;
      • Dynamic and reflexive relationship between theory and practice;
      • Complexity of knowledge exchange given diverse interpretations, methods, disciplines, and perspectives associated with knowledge development; and
      • Ethical behaviour consistent with academic integrity and guidelines for the conduct of ethical research.
      • Communication

        Graduates speak and write articulately about complex concepts, and they investigate problems as opportunities for growth.
        Graduates gain a grounded understanding of:

        • Effective and respectful communication, including the provision of appropriate feedback to solve problems and manage conflicts among individuals, groups, and community;
        • Effective communication of complex subject matter clearly in writing to professional and academic audiences; and
