Did you know that East Carolina Universities Educational Specialist (Ed.S) degree is completely online! This degree sixth year degree provides Level II Administration and Supervision licensure.
What can you do with a sixth year degree? Good question! The Ed.S degree opens the door to central office positions, state and federal educational agencies, as well as a salary increase in the public schools. There is no dissertation that must be written after completion of the program. This is a wonderful alternative to those who desire to further their education beyond the master's degree but have no interest in obtaining a doctorate degree.
I also encourage you to look at other Educational Specialist programs at the following universities:
University of North Carolina at Greensboro
Appalachian State University
Western Carolina University

"Technology Standards for Administrators, Teachers and Students"
1. Should the new administrator standards parallel the new teacher standards?
Yes, I agree the administrator standards should be parallel to the new teacher standards. Especially the first standard that states, "Facilitate and Inspire Student Learning and Creativity." Administrators must first be creative and able to faciliate the use of technology with their staff. It is very critical that administrators know how to use technology and engage their staff in how to use it effectively, safely and efficiently.
2. Are there additional standards to which administrators should be held?
I believe an additional standard that should be added is, "Communication and Collaboration" which is listed as a standard for students. Many administrators do no realize that their are so many ways to communicate to staff outside of e-mails and face-to-face staff meetings. Many principals do not utilize blogging, videoing and digital imaging etc. to communicate and collaborate with their staff. My belief is administrators should be held to this standard more frequently in regards to the age we are living.
3. What is your overall reaction to the current administrator standards?
I did not know that there were technology standards for administrators. Overall, I believe it is wonderful we have them in place. Administrators should be encouraged to follow these standards as it will only make them more aware and proficient in our complex digital age.
