While the research certainly justifies the need for high quality educational leadership, it comes at a time when the school principal has increasingly become one of the more challenging and stressful leadership positions in contemporary society. The challenges confronting the educational leader are most daunting. School communities are faced with unprecedented societal forces and challenges including, but not limited to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>a rapidly changing global economy that requires a different skills set of its laborers;<\/li>\n<li>increased performance standards, accountability and academic expectations;<\/li>\n<li>increased parental demands for quality education and alternative school choices;<\/li>\n<li>a changing, more diverse and increasing student population;<\/li>\n<li>increased incidents in school violence and demands for student safety;<\/li>\n<li>inadequate facilities and budgetary shortfalls;<\/li>\n<li>an overall lack of teacher quality; and<\/li>\n<li>the exponential growth of knowledge and the ongoing emergence of new technologies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Our Ramapo College Master of Arts in Educational Leadership program is specifically designed to address the aforementioned critical needs. To this end, the mission of our MAEL program is to provide prospective educational leaders the opportunity for professional growth and development that is effectively balanced in both theory and practice, allowing for experiential learning in authentic contexts that reflect the changing social, economic and political climate that currently shape our contemporary educational communities.
