Job description

Position description
SUMMARY OF ORGANIZATION/UNIT
The Transformative Coaching and Leadership program (TCL) is an M.Ed. degree program in the Department of Education at UCLA's School of Education and Information Studies. The goals and principles of the program include:
  • cultivating one's own philosophy of teaching, (sports) coaching and leadership and applying it in practice
  • appreciating a holistic understanding of persons as physical, intellectual, emotional, social, & spiritual beings
  • embracing a transformational model of (sports) coaching and leadership (rather than merely transactional)
  • commitment to a social justice ethic including commitment to equity, inclusion & diversity
  • appreciating the intersection of theory and practice and aspiring towards theory and evidence informing one's practice

TCL students take nine (9) quarter courses and complete a research-based capstone project (approx. 30 pages). For the capstone, students use applied research skills such as setting goals, assessing needs, conducting literature reviews, identifying gaps in practice, and using data to inform strategic interventions to identify a problem or need relevant to the current context of sports coaching or leadership and propose a research-informed, actionable solution. TCL students are aspiring and developing practitioner-scholars interested in a career in the sports industry.
