The District Leadership Program is a 15 credit hour/one year program leading to PreK-12 District Leadership Licensure. This program provides an opportunity for persons who currently have completed a Building Leadership program to participate in advanced graduate training that qualifies them for positions including Superintendent, Assistant Superintendent, Special Education Director, or other district-wide positions.
In addition to the prescribed coursework, candidates must complete the School Superintendent Assessment (SSA) praxis prior to completing the program, and submit the scores to Newman. The SSA is based on the ISLLC leadership standards regarding the knowledge, performance, and dispositions necessary for a district level position.
