The program, called Future Forward Leadership, allows students to pursue a master’s degree in administration and supervision while learning on the job as paid administrative interns. In traditional principal preparation programs, students must typically juggle their college courses and a teaching job while squeezing in internship hours. This residency program, however, allows for a more robust internship, helping students connect what they learn in class to the schools where they work.
