one academic year in length (two consecutive
terms). Students must have a minimum of 3 years as
a practicing administrator in order to enroll in
the class. Students will apply the essential
content knowledge, leadership, collaboration, and
research skills necessary for district level
leadership. As part of this experience, students
will complete a capstone project in which they
apply concepts and skills learned in previous
coursework. This capstone will involve action
research, an equity audit, or in-depth research
and the creation of an action plan regarding a
professional problem of practice. Upon successful
completion of the capstone project, the 220 hour
practicum, and the compilation of a portfolio
demonstrating competency in each of the
administrative standards a credit/no credit grade
will be submitted to the campus advisor who will
audit the student's transcript and determine their
eligibility for Professional Administrator License
program completion.

have focused mainly on reacting to specific
student misbehavior by implementing
punishment-based strategies. Research during the
past 20 years has shown that school-wide behavior
systems that are positively focused on desired
behaviors can result in a substantive lifestyle
impact for all members of a school community.
Additionally, these school wide initiatives must
be supported by district-wide systems of
multi-tiered interventions and equitable policies
that focus on reducing exclusionary discipline,
increasing attendance, and sustaining positive,
inclusive, and hate-free school and district
cultures. This course will examine the
systems-based approach for implementing culturally
proficient, multi-tiered, school-wide behavior
supports, and the critical role that school
leaders have in building positive learning
environments for each student.
