The 24-credit Superintendent/District Leadership concentration prepares students for a licensed position as a principal, superintendent, or other school site district administrator.
Students enrolled in the Superintendent/District Leadership Licensure Program explore their roles as leaders and build upon and extend their competence in the following areas as they relate to educational leadership: organizational analysis, educational change and reform, school law, public school finance, curriculum design and evaluation for administrators, school personnel administration, and educational policy. Students participate in field-based experiences as part of the license sequence courses.
This program is approved by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction for PK-12 administration licenses. Students who have successfully completed the 24 credits in the Superintendent/District Leadership Licensure Program will have the opportunity to apply for the Superintendent License. As necessary for advance licensure, the principal license is also available through this program. Further, the Director of Instruction, Director of Student Services, and School Business Management licenses are available, although additional classes and experiences may be necessary for any of these three licensing areas. Students who successfully complete their 24 credits are automatically accepted into the Doctoral Completion program if they wish to earn their EdD degree.
