December 2025

The Department of Educational Leadership at Kennesaw State University's Bagwell College of Education has launched an innovative partnership with the Atlanta Neighborhood Charter School (ANCS) aimed at preparing the next generation of teacher-leaders. This collaboration is anchored by the newly established Dual Certification Master's program in Teacher Leadership and Educational Leadership, designed to foster sustainable and effective distributed leadership within the district.

ANCS leaders have worked closely with KSU faculty to align aspects of the ANCS aspiring leaders program curriculum with three KSU courses, which makes ANCS program graduates eligible for credit for prior learning at KSU. The program also leverages candidates' on-the-job experiences, offering significant time and financial savings.

Upon completion, graduates will earn a master's degree and certifications in Teacher Leadership, Tier I Educational Leadership, and a GaPSC Coaching Certificate, all in under two years for less than $10,000. Additionally, the ANCS offers employees a stipend to enroll in the M.Ed. in TLEDL at KSU. This partnership is expected to serve as a model for similar collaborations across the state.
