These eight (8) units or 120 hours of non-university professional development are a requirement of the Professional Development Plan. This plan (PDP) is developed collaboratively among the candidate, mentor and university supervisor. The PDP is developed as part of the course, AS 661 Professional Development. There will be a series of meetings with the candidate, mentor and university supervisor for the development and approval of the plan.
The purpose of the non-university experience is to provide an opportunity for the new school administrator to have a positive on the job training experience with the support of a mentor. The PDP is an outline of the professional activities that will ensure a positive professional growth experience for the candidate.
Accredited professional organizations that may provide learning opportunities are the California School Leadership Academy (CSLA) and the Association of California School Administrators (ACSA). There may be other high quality professional development opportunities which have not been approved by the California Commission for Teacher Credentialing (CCTC). The university supervisor, mentor and candidate will evaluate these proposed professional development activities for approval. The approval process for these activities includes a written proposal, summary evaluation and verification of the professional development activities. The appropriate forms for this purpose will be provided upon request or may be found in the AS Program Handbook.
