Accelerated Certification Cohort

The Education Leadership Program is collaborating with Fairfax County Public Schools to help prepare the next generation of school leaders in a manner that is timely for the district. In the Accelerated Certification Cohort (ACC), Education Leadership faculty have co-constructed the curriculum and share in the instructional process. On another level, faculty collaborate in team planning and team teaching, marrying various areas of expertise to form coherent leadership development that combines theory and practical application. In addition, they teach students how to collaborate and encourage them to practice collaborative leadership in role-playing scenarios.
