This Master of School Administration handbook created by the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill – School of Education provides readers with an overview of the vision, program design, and end-of-program portfolio requirements for their leadership preparation program. The basic curriculum of the program has three distinct dimensions: (1) awareness (i.e., acquiring concepts, information, definitions, and procedures); (2) understanding (i.e., interpreting knowledge to school environments, integrating concepts with practice, and using knowledge and skills in context); and (3) application (i.e., applying knowledge and skills to specific  problems of practice). This handbook also includes a course sequence, course descriptions, internship agreement, leadership development plans, sample employment agreements, and other materials related to program logistics and expectations.
