The program addresses the growing need for administrators in Georgia schools. It is designed to train administrators who can bring a perspective on leadership grounded in teaching and performance-based practices. For those interested in attaining administrative certification, this major provides the courses and performance-based residency required for Georgia L-6 certification and is aligned with the Standards, Elements and Indicators for the Preparation of Georgia Educational Leaders.  All rules and standards can be found at http://www.gapsc.com.

The candidate may also add other endorsements by completing courses in other areas to fulfill requirements of the Professional Standards Commission (PSC).

This thirty credit hour program is designed for principals and superintendents. If a candidate is not in one of these leadership
positions, then they must have permission from the Superintendent to complete this performance-based program.
