While the MA in Instructional Leadership is open to all students, over the past two years Texas State has partnered with local districts to create instructional leadership cohorts. This program concentrates on the teacher as leader, within the classroom, school, and district. There is also an explicit focus on developing teacher leaders who understand cultural responsiveness and equity-oriented practices for the diverse classrooms of Texas. Often the cognate classes are designed with district and university collaboration.
