"NCC’s educational leadership program prepared me and many of my colleagues for leadership roles with well-designed curriculum and practical applications and experiences embedded throughout each course and the internship. I was particularly appreciative of NCC’s emphasis on establishing and leading diverse and inclusive school environments focused on growth of the whole student." K. Fricke

"Hands down, what makes North Central’s educational leadership program special is the staff, instructors, and mentors that provide daily, valuable feedback. Their expertise, passion, and genuine care for professional growth is what I personally found so rewarding. I also found working with a cohort throughout the program was incredibly beneficial to experience collaboration and team work through authentic, job-embedded projects."     K. Niederman

"The educational leadership program at North Central is special because of the professors. The professors that I had at North Central weren’t just knowledgeable, they genuinely cared and took time to have 1 on 1 conversations with each student about guiding our future in leadership."           B.
