In addition, candidates will develop a Professional Portfolio, verifying mastery in all of the California Professional Standards for Educational Leaders (CPSELs.
- EDAU 720 Professional Clear Assessment of Candidates Competence II
- This course builds upon the foundations of the prior
strengths of the candidates, the Professional Induction Plan (PIP), and the materials in the Professional Portfolio. Candidates synthesize their learning and apply conceptual knowledge to administrative practice in ways that engage them in important issues of educational leadership. (EDAU 720 is the second half of the required program. See EDAU 710 for information on the first half.) To recommend a candidate for the Professional Clear Administrative Services Credential, the faculty mentor must verify competence in candidate performance as outlined in the California Professional Standards for Educational Leaders (CPSELs)using the candidate’s Portfolio and feedback from the District Support Provider and Faculty Mentor. A summative assessment brings closure to this process and establishes direction for continuing growth and professional development.
