Program requirements

Candidates have completed a master’s degree and hold New Jersey certification as a supervisor. A second course in leadership is required of candidates who have previously taken only one course in a state-approved supervisory certification sequence. Candidates will complete a year-long (300 hours) internship along with a “Capstone School Improvement/Change Project.”

The frameworks for the program have been established to meet preparatory requirements as established in the New Jersey Administrative Code (6A:9-12.5) as well as the challenges, responsibilities and opportunities inherent in educational leadership.
