George Williams College offers a Masters Degree in Teacher Leadership in Earth and Space Science Education.  The program is designed for Pre K-12 teachers who seek to increase their knowledge of Earth and Space Science and learn new ways to work with students in the classroom.  The program is designed to explore how humans affect the environment and how the environment affects humans.

All classes in the program are taught on the Aurora University, George Williams College campus in Williams Bay, Wisconsin.  The classes include field work, lab work, and classroom discussions.  Geneva Lake, Yerkes Observatory, glacial, and other landscapes in the area are used to provide hands on experiences for the teachers. Yerkes Observatory is the home of the largest refracting telescope in the world and has made major contributions to modern astronomy and astrophysics.

The courses are designed so that teachers can take the materials form the class directly to the classroom.  The program emphasizes how to develop curriculum and assessment to go along with the subject matter that the teacher is learning.  Science classroom and laboratory management are discussed in connection with the science activities in the program.  As a part of the program teachers will research current topics in science and science education.  This program can lead to an endorsement in science.
