Designed for the professional educator who, already holding a master’s degree and 5 years leadership experience in education, wishes to apply for an initial administrator license through the Colorado Department of Education and prepare for a career as a superintendent or other district leader. In addition to coursework, a passing score on the Administrator PLACE content exam (or Praxis #5411 Educational Leadership:  Administration and Supervision) is also required for administrator licensure through the Colorado Department of Education.  PLACE exams will be available until their last administration date of May 6, 2017 and PLACE scores will be accepted by the Colorado Department of Education for 5 years until May 6, 2022. The 12-semester-hour administrator licensure program combines weekend meetings with online work and hands-on clinical practice-usually completed in participants’ home districts:

EDUC 7500 - Strategic Human Capital Development  
EDUC 7510 - Strategic Organizational Management  
EDUC 7520 - Strategic System Improvement   
EDUC 7530 - Strategic Leadership Development   

These courses are differentiated for four student types: certificate students, administrator licensure students, EdS students, EdD students and PhD students. Learn more at www.ucdenver.edu/education/elp.
