In this rapidly changing information world, it is increasingly clear that previous methods of training professionals for the field of educational administration are not adequate. Our master s program is the only one like it in the state of Oklahoma that addresses this need, said Dr. Rex Tullis, Chair of the School of Education. Another unique feature of the MAEL program is the use of technology. Because future administrators must be computer literate to be successful in the school environment, advanced technological tools are included in the program. Students receive a laptop computer, photo quality color printer, digital camera and a Palm Organizer.
Appropriate software is included, and the items remain possessions of the student upon graduation.
