5. Justification (must cite accreditation and/or assessment by the graduate faculty) for new
course or course revision or course renumbering:
The NC Dept of Public Instruction has called for the revisioning of Master of School
Administration (MSA) programs to align with new state standards for the preparation of
school leaders. UNC GA has instituted a parallel process for the reauthorization of MSA
programs. The multiple course topics and assignments will help students understand
theories, research and strategies associated with teacher development, empowerment and
retention. Students must also understand the process of recruitment, hiring, placing,
mentoring, and evaluating of teachers and staff. The Graduate faculty of Educational
Leadership determined that a new course would best address this theme and demonstrate
“proficiency” in all required areas of the new North Carolina School Executive
Standards: Pre-service Candidates Standards 1d1, 1d2, 3a1, 3a2, 3d1, 4a1, 4b1
