"Gordon's Educational Leadership program gave me the experience, confidence and knowledge to accomplish my goal of earning my Master's degree, while also receiving my principal's certification from the DESE. The set-up of the course requirements, excellence of the professor's styles and, most importantly, collaborating with other area teachers within the program made my time within the program personally rewarding."
