There seems to be many, I'd like to increase my chances of getting into a good school with a friendly atmosphere.
I think Americans/Canadians tend to be more relaxed than Brits, so I'd like to jump ship as I only have UK qualifications with leadership qualifications for UK schools. I've never had luck with them, having only ever received interest in A Level and IGCSE schools.
Any suggestions?
IB Leadership/Educator Courses - Online Delivery? The cheapest?
Response
If youre looking for just a certificate program:
1) The Harvard Certificate in School Management and Leadership (CSML) is four courses, online, and costs about USD$2K. Its hard to beat that cost in coin for a Global Ivy.
If youre looking for an easy credential than there are two options:
1) DC offers a senior leadership credential, the Administrative Services Credential. You dont need a Masters degree, for the Initial credential you just need two years of appropriate edu experience including as a classroom DT/IT. This credential is valid for 2 years but cant be renewed.
The Standard credential requires a pro.edu exam (SLLA) and 4 years of appropriate edu experience including as a classroom DT/IT. This credential is valid for 4 years and is renewable.
2) MA: Offers an executive leadership credential. The Provisional Superintendent/Assistant Superintendent credential requires a pro.edu exam (Communication Literacy, its an English language exam), a Bachelors/First degree and three years of appropriate edu experience including as a classroom DT/IT. The credential would effectively be a lifetime credential.
If youre looking for an advanced degree program, youre better looking back in the UK.
1) The Ed.Ld. M.Ed. at Uni. Buckingham is £6K, and entirely online. You can take it through either the UK campus or the China campus.
2) If you insist on going outside the UK, the American College of Education (ABCE) has an Ed.Ld M.Ed. for USD$9500, entirely online.

Re: IB Leadership/Educator Courses - Online Delivery? The cheapest?
If you’re interested in working towards a School Management and Leadership certificate but simply don’t have the funds to join the Universities of Oxford or Cambridge, then Harvard’s online course offers this for a very reasonable price of $2K. The University of Buckingham, for £6K, Ed.Ld. M.Ed, is a cheap, entirely online, if you are after more advanced credentials. Both ways are great ways to build up your leadership skills without spending a lot.
