The Tomorrow's Leaders program is a 36-hour graduate program culminating in the degree of Master of Education (M.Ed.) in School Administration completed on a part-time basis over five consecutive semesters of graduate study. There are three major components to the program:

  • Course-Seminars - A team of university professors and consulting professors drawn from the ranks of Center for Educational Leadership member school districts conducts course-seminars that emphasize active learning and the forging of connections between disciplinary knowledge and the problems of professional practice.
  • Problem-Seminars - Problem-seminars introduce students to a range of problems that principals face, develop confidence in practical and creative problem-solving, and cultivate team leadership skills necessary for effective principaling in tomorrow's schools. Students learn by dealing with such problems as responding to a request for a proposal for charter schools, creating a realistic teacher development and evaluation system, developing school-wide strategies for authentic assessment, dealing with discipline problems, developing school-community partnerships, and introducing change. Trinity University faculty and school district partners act as coaches and resources.
  • Internships and Practica - Practicum experiences and internships are individually tailored to reflect the student's background and interests and school district needs. Trinity faculty work closely with mentors from school districts in crafting and providing internship experiences.
