The Science Education Leadership (SEL) program offers Ph.D., M.Ed. and certificate options. SEL students study the changing nature of science, science teaching, assessment, curriculum, technology, safety, and meeting the diverse needs of learners. Skills are developed in data-driven decision making, systematic and continual improvement, and leading dynamic organizations. Students also explore school-based leadership issues in science education. Internship experiences in Science Education Leadership include working with a practicing scientist in a research setting and interacting with school leaders on the state and local level who directly and indirectly impact science education.
