Indiana University of Pennsylvania offers a 15 credit K-12 Principal Certification Program, distinguished by its performance approach for administrative certification. Various projects within each of six major competency areas are developed in the foundational course, EDAD 756. These plans are then implemented within the context of the candidate’s home school district during 12 credits of supervised internship, EDAD 798, and are expected to improve learning for both students and staff.
Applicants must be admitted to the School of Graduate Studies and Research, have a minimum of five years of successful practice in their area of certification, and hold either a master’s degree or enrollment status in a master’s program. For further information, contact Dr. C. Kaufman, program director, Professional Studies in Education Department, Davis Hall, Room 305, 724-357-2400. Or, visit the Principal Certification Program website.
