Educational Leadership (Administrative Services Credential)
Cal Poly Humboldt’s Educational Leadership Program (EDL) is designed for teacher leaders interested in improving education locally as well as globally. The EDL Program will enhance educators’ skills and knowledge base while preparing them to lead the way towards school improvement and increased student performance. This cohort model is designed to accommodate the schedules of busy educators through a blend of classroom, online, and video-conferencing instruction.
Why this Program
Classroom Immersion
Being able to apply what you learn in the classroom to a school classroom is a hallmark of an Humboldt Education degree.
Social Responsibility
Addressing the array of backgrounds, needs, and abilities of today’s youth, our program is built on a foundation of equity and social justice.
Close-knit Community
Start and end the program with the same group of students. That means seeing familiar faces, and building a sense of belonging and community.
Did you know?
Every teacher credential program requires 600+ hours of field experience.
You’ll learn how to approach teaching that is culturally responsive and design instruction that brings in the diverse knowledge, experiences, and learning abilities of students in local communities.
You will develop lesson plans and unit plans that actively engage K-12 students to create environments where students create their own knowledge.
Careers
You can convey information clearly, present and speak in public, ask probing questions, and engage learners in a meaningful, equitable way. Your Education certificate will help you develop the knowledge and skills that are critical for your next step in life.

Grow Your Own Administrator
Cal Poly Humboldt is proud to collaborate with the Blue Lake Rancheria to provide the Grow Your Own Administrator (GYOA) program funded by the US Department of Education.
GYOA funds up to 24 Native American certificated school employees (teachers, counselors, nurses, school pathologists, school psychologists...) to earn their Preliminary California Administrative Credentials for free! Applicants from across Northern California are eligible to participate.
GYOA will: (1) directly pay all tuition, fees and books for the Cal Poly Humboldt Administrative Credential
program, and (2) pay participants a $500 a month stipend for the ten months they are in the Preliminary Administrative
Credential Program ($5,000 total). To receive the scholarship and stipends participants will need to apply to the Blue
Lake Rancheria using forms provided.
We had our first cohort beginning in August 2022, and are planning for additional cohorts in August 2023 and August 2024.
