School Leadership Program

Program

The School Leadership Program is focused on producing school leaders who will develop and lead high-quality schools in high need areas. This one-year, intensive leadership program is open to educators who want to earn a Preliminary Administrative Services Credential. Participants will be under the guidance of Fortune School of Education faculty with deep expertise in educational leadership, including charter school development and operations.

Candidates are grouped into a cohort and are supported in their training by FSE’s Higher Education Department, Instructors and Coach.

Candidates complete 200 hours of coursework and field supervision. These hours also include the educational leadership project, which is one of the culminating assessments of the program. Additionally, candidates are required to pass the three cycles of the California Administrator Performance Assessment (CalAPA). Once all requirements are met, candidates are recommended for a Preliminary Administrative Services Credential or a Certificate of Eligibility.

Those who have secured an administrative position, and can demonstrate it through the completion of form CL777 by the employing agency, are recommended for a Preliminary Credential. Those who have not secured an administrative position will be recommended for a Certificate of Eligibility. The Certificate can be upgraded to a Preliminary Credential once an administrative position is secured.
