    Certificate
    Online

Principal as Agent of School Reform

This unique Principal Certification PK-12 is designed to prepare principals as instructional leaders who can effectively and ethically bring about continuous school improvements that result in increased student achievement. The principal preparation program is designed to meet the Pennsylvania Leadership Standards. All courses in the certification program are approved to meet Act 45/48 professional development requirements.

The online 成人抖音破解版 Principal Certification program prepares educational leaders for certification in grades PreK-12.  This portion of the Pennsylvania Department of Education's (PDE) certification process includes 21 credits of coursework that can be completed in one academic year.  Candidates are also required to complete three years of classroom teaching and successfully pass the School Leaders Licensure Assessment Praxis before applying to PDE for principal certification. 

Program Distinctions

Leadership Assessment

Each candidate takes part in a leadership assessment prior to the capstone internship experience. This assessment helps to establish the focus of the internship and ensures that the candidate has a well-rounded experience under the direction of a principal.

Cohort

The design of 成人抖音破解版’s program is based on effective models of adult learning. The program provides candidates with an online community and the opportunity to cooperate and collaborate throughout the sequence of five connected online core courses all of which have job concurrent internships. Once the online learning community is formed, it becomes the basis of a strong professional network that continues to provide support and professional development for the candidates as they move through their leadership careers.

Program Delivery Model for Working Professionals

The 12-month online program allows the complete flexibility that busy educators need to accommodate work and family. Travel to 成人抖音破解版 is not required during the program. Your 成人抖音破解版 internship supervisor will meet with you several times throughout your internship.

Program Advisor

Every candidate is assigned a Program Advisor who serves as the point of contact and mentor throughout the candidate’s preparation program.

Highly Qualified Faculty

Courses are taught by highly qualified content experts who are successful practitioners in their respective fields. These faculty members are either current principals or individuals who have administrative experience.

Differentiated Internships

The internships begin during the first course at the introductory level, continue through key skills areas at the developmental level and culminate during the last course in a mastery level capstone internship. This differentiated model allows candidates to have guided practice and formative feedback from university faculty mentors and experienced practitioners throughout the program.

Length of Internships

The internship experiences take place throughout the program so that candidates are involved in critical leadership responsibilities involving students, faculty and staff, strategic planning, curriculum development, budgeting, and other key areas of district culture related to a principal’s position.

Professional Portfolio

Candidates develop a Professional Portfolio throughout their classroom and internship learning experiences and present their Professional Portfolio as a capstone activity. The portfolio is a very effective tool in career advancement.
