Camarillo, Calif., March 29, 2004 - A new master's of education program created to meet the increasing demand for highly qualified school principals and other educational leaders will be launched this summer by California State University Channel Islands.
The CSUCI Principals Leadership Program is designed for working professionals who have a valid teaching or related service credential and three years of teaching experience.
Those who complete the program become eligible for the Preliminary Administrative Services Credential required for principals and administrators in California public schools.
The program, which begins in the mid-June summer session, can be completed in one year or four sessions, according to Joan Karp, professor of special education and education program chair.
The Principal Leadership Program emphasizes a hands-on, cohort model in which students remain as a group throughout the program. Mentored by practicing principals, students participate in action-oriented master's projects at local schools. They gain real-life experiences in the critical and challenging issues facing educational leaders today.
