College programs online can help teachers advance their careers

Both the public and private education sectors are currently facing a great deal of change, which has created a demand for teachers who are able to adapt to the shifting environment and lead their colleagues. To answer this need, many colleges are launching online college courses that can help educators sharpen their leadership skills.

For example, a Connecticut-based school recently announced the launch of an online masters program in teacher leadership, which is intended to help individuals who already have classroom experience learn how to handle administrative duties, The Quad Daily reports.

Individuals who choose to enroll in these programs may learn new ways to develop a curriculum or how to create teacher standards. In addition, a web-based classroom could attract teachers from across the country, which could enable enrollees to exchange ideas and network with one another.

Teachers who complete similar courses of study could see improved career prospects as the need for qualified education administrators continues to grow. The demand for these professionals is expected to increase by 8 percent over the next eight years, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
