This document examines specific elements found in a curriculum guide for learning outcomes in a university master's degree educational leadership preparation program. Each element is presented as a sample for formatting of a matrix that aligns specific curriculum components. The matrix design is a framework for connecting the program's logic and identified elements to national standards, national accreditation, and state program approval. This is especially important for faculty in educational leadership preparation programs who are interested in Teacher Education Accreditation Council (TEAC) as a means to obtain national accreditation. The opportunity is provided to observe samples generated from an existing program and how they might aligned to meet TEAC quality standards and principles. The guide can be used for improvement in principal preparation program design and accountability for 21st Century learners.
