This is a planned, in-school experience involving active participation in the application of knowledge and skills of administration to various responsibilities and challenges faced by school principals. The eight administrative competencies of: 1) Institutional Philosophy and Mission; 2) School and Community Relations, including marketing; 3) Educational Leadership; 4) Curricular and Instructional Leadership; 5) Personnel; 6) Pupil Services; 7) School Law; and 8) School Finance are again utilized. The difference is the in-depth involvement in the activities and competencies that each student is expected to accomplish. Students work in their own school setting under the direction of their building principal as well as with a mentor principal from another school. Class seminars emphasize the application of each administrative competency as well as the examination of the components of a safe, secure and supportive learning environment, designing effective co-curricular programs and their evaluation and current technologies that support management functions. Candidates analyze the differences between high schools, middle schools and elementary schools plus the differences between urban and suburban schools. Class members also investigate the role of the assistant principal and the athletic director.
