Program Components

  1. Individual Induction Plan (IIP) serves as a foundation for the candidate’s personalized learning experience throughout the Program. Each student is expected to create a portfolio on the California Professional Standards for Education Leaders (CPSEL). The portfolio should contain two parts.
  2. Coaching: Each candidate is assigned a coach and site based sessions are designed to provide job embedded support and individualized learning opportunities. Coaches and candidates participate in monthly course seminars to engage in professional learning and growth experiences. Candidates meet with coaches to discuss progress on IIP and plan for observations, coaching site visits and additional relevant professional learning activities.
  3. Professional Learning: Monthly Seminar Course Format. Candidates are provided with opportunities to meet with critical friends/job alike groups to identify promising practices and discuss questions related to the CPSEL activities.

Program Overview

The California State University East Bay Department of Educational Leadership offers a job-embedded, site-based, individualized coaching program and professional development seminars as an approved pathway for clearing the Preliminary Administrative Services Credential (PASC). The California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CTC) authorizes the completion of an approved Administrative Services Clear Credential Induction Program as the only option for completing the Clear Administrative Services Credential.

Certification of the completion of all training requirements is accomplished through a two-year program that includes one-on-one coaching with a skilled administrator, an individualized leadership growth plan, and professional learning seminars as well as a culminating portfolio representing two years of leadership development as an instructional leader based upon the California Professional Standards for Educational Leaders (CPSEL).
