CERTIFICATE IN INTERNATIONAL LEADERSHIP
(Emphasis: Thailand)
Candidates will participate in a series of authentic assessment
activities including conducting presentations, consultations, coaching, and
observations of educational organizations in Chiang Mai, Thailand during their

TIER II PROGRAM (UCI)
This international program has been designed to endorse and support the
The Tier II Program is a comprehensive six-unit program of two courses (ED398A & ED398B) for practicing school administrators holding the Preliminary Administrative Services Credential. It is designed for individuals who have assumed their first administrative role under a Preliminary Administrative Credential (Tier I), and who now need to complete a Professional Administrative Services Credential (Tier II) program.
Description: ED398A-Induction
focuses on the development and structure of a “Professional Leadership Plan”
(PLP) and a self-assessment by the candidate of her/his characteristics,
competencies, and skills as they relate to professional performance. The PLP will be developed by the candidate
and approved by the university instructor of the course and an authorized
district/school administrator of the candidate’s school district (note- this
authorized administrator of the candidate’s district should be a school or
district-level administrator involved in the evaluation and/or professional
development of the district’s administrative personnel.)
Description: ED398B-Final
Evaluation focuses on a ‘capstone’ assessment/evaluation of the candidate’s
administrative skills and competencies.
This evaluation of the candidate will be based on competencies and
standards as contained in the California Professional Standards for Educational
Leaders and will be jointly done by the candidate, the university program
coordinator, and the authorized representative of the candidate’s district.
Prerequisites: Candidates
have completed at least one year as an administrator under their California
Preliminary Administrative Services Credential following the program. Candidates can provide verification of
passage of CBEST.

PARTICIPATION
RUBRIC
Outstanding Contributor:
Contributions reflect thorough preparation. Ideas offered are usually substantive;
provide one or more major insights, as well as, direction for the class. Arguments, when offered, are well
substantiated and persuasively presented.
If this person were not a member of the class, the quality of the
discussions would be diminished significantly.
Good Contributor:
Contributions reflect thorough preparation. Ideas offered are usually substantive;
provide good insights and sometimes direction for the class discussion. Arguments, when presented, are, generally,
well substantiated and are often persuasive.
If this person were not a member of the class, the quality of the
discussion would be diminished considerably.
Adequate Contributor:
Contributions reflect satisfactory preparation. Ideas offered are sometimes substantive,
provide generally useful insights, but seldom offer a major new direction for
the discussion. Arguments are sometimes
presented, and are fairly well substantiated and sometimes persuasive. If this person were not a member of the
class, the quality of the discussions would be diminished somewhat.
Non-participant:
This person has said little or nothing.
Hence, there is no adequate basis for evaluation. If this person were not a member of the
class, the quality of the discussions would not be changed.
Unsatisfactory Contributor:
Contribution reflects inadequate or non-existent preparation. Ideas offered are seldom substantive; provide
few, if any, insights; and rarely provide a constructive direction for the
class discussion. Integrative comments
and effective arguments are completely absent.
Contributions are, at best, “time fillers” efforts to make isolated, obvious,
or confusing points. If this person were
not a member of the class, valuable class time would be saved.
Missed Live Classes or Late Arrival/Early
Departure: Missing one or
more live classes and/or arriving late & leaving early will affect your participation. Excessive absences (two or more) will yield a
grade of ‘Fail’ for the International Program.
In case of prolonged illness or unforeseen obligations, candidates are
to consult with Dr. Orozco. If you miss
any part of a session, it is YOUR responsibility to make arrangements with a
colleague for missed instruction, assignments, handouts and future
expectations. Please note the name,
email address and

Select two administrators familiar with your leadership abilities.
Directions:
Explain to each administrator that you are conducting these conversations as
part of a required assessment of your abilities as an administrator. The
candidate is to summarize the results of ALL of these conversations within four
broad categories. Use these categories as 'questions' during your
meetings. Note- candidates do not need to indicate which individuals said
what. Only a summary of the input collected in each of the four areas is
necessary.
Area One: Current strengths of the Candidate
Area Two: Areas the Candidate Needs further Development/Refinement/Experience
Area Three: Barriers/Hurtles the Candidate Faces
Area Four: Opportunities Available to the Candidate
This is YOUR opportunity to hear about 'yourself' through the eyes
of other administrators. Ask these questions as broadly as possible, and
then LISTEN carefully and take detailed notes about what is said. Encourage
these administrators to share with you honestly and openly. Yes, you may
need a bit of a 'thick skin', however this is your chance to ask some very
insightful questions about you. GO FOR IT!

+Summary- Area One: Current Strengths of the Candidate:
[summarize what you heard during your discussions- do not identify specific
statements to individual administrators. This is your opportunity to
review what administrators said about you in this category, and summarize it.
What were some common themes? Any surprises? Were some
comments more valuable to you than others. Be specific about what was
said, and HOW you are interpreting it.]
+Summary- Area Two: Areas the Candidate Needs further
Development/Refinement/Experience:
+Summary- Area Three: Barriers/Hurdles the Candidate Faces:
+Summary- Area Four: Opportunities Available to the Candidate:
+Candidate’s Overall Reflections on Data & Future Steps/Actions:
11. Statement of Professional & Career Goals [signed by
district rep]
After personal reflection on their work, leadership
experience, and academic preparation, candidates are to write a Statement of
Professional & Career Goals. Remember to use data you gained from
assignments 8-12. This may be one or two
pages long. Single spaced to conserve paper. [To be
approved/signed-off by your district rep before or after the trip]
12. Structure of Mentoring/Support Component [signed by district
rep]
Candidates are to
identify and list individuals that have or are serving in a mentoring capacity
to the candidate. The mentoring may be formal or informal, directed by
the district/school, or initiated by the candidate for their professional
growth. This requirement will include identification of mentors/support
providers at the university and the candidate's district/school. Dr.
Orozco and Leadership Innovation may also be used as part of this requirement,
as well as others outside of the candidate's district/school worksite. A
proposed schedule of mentoring activities will also be included. To meet
this requirement candidates will:
a. list names and job titles of individuals that have served, are serving or
will serve as mentors to the candidate
b. the nature or general content of the mentoring the candidates has, is or
will receive from each mentor
c. dates/times the mentoring activities have, are or will take place
For example, use the following format for your document:
SAMPLE FORMAT:
Name of
Title: Professor in Educational Leadership
at
Nature or General Content of
the Mentoring:
Leadership, international education and leadership, team building, diversity,
professional capacity building, technology in leadership.
Dates/Times of Mentoring: Select dates for conference calls
April-July 2009; and full time July 20-30, 2009.
[NOTE: UCI requires that this document be
approved/signed-off by your district rep before or after the trip]
13. Thai Leader Interview (& job shadow & picture, if
possible)
Each candidate is to seek
out, identify and interview a Thai leader based on interview questions
developed by the team. When possible, candidates are encouraged to job-shadow
the leader for a minimum of 30 minutes. Candidates will summarize their
interview and include the name, title, organization, and time/date of the
interview. Candidates are strongly encouraged to include a picture of the
leader, when possible, in their 1-2 page report (single-spaced).
14. Analyze, Compare & Contrast YOUR District Expectations for
'Principal' with CCTC, NPBEA & CAPSELs
Each candidate will review the standards and competencies required of
school administrators and leaders as contained in various statements related to
this topic.
For example, the California Commission for Teacher Credentialing
(CCTC) has established that the curriculum for the Professional Tier of the
Administrative Services Credential program should be built about five (5) basic
themes of administrative practice:
+ Organizational and Cultural Environment
+ Dynamics of Strategic Issues Management
+ Ethical and Reflective Learning
+ Analysis and Development of Public Policy
+ Management of Information Systems and Human and Fiscal Resources
The National Policy Board for
Educational Administration in its document, Principals for Changing Schools,
presented 21 domains of knowledge and skills needed by administrators.
Some of these domains are quite broad, e.g. 'judgement', while others are
more specific, e.g. 'public relations' (to see NPBEA document- click here)
The California Professional Standards for Educational Leaders (CAPSELs)
focus on the various responsibilities of school administrative leadership and
the skills, attitudes, and behaviors needed to successfully fulfill those
responsibilities. (CAPSELs online at http://www.wested.org/online_pubs/cpsel_standards.pdf
)
The themes of the CCTC, the domains of the NPBEA, and the content of the
CAPSELs contain broad conceptual areas, which obviously subsume discrete
administrative/leadership skills and knowledge. Individual school districts
generally have their own conceptions regarding what specific skills, knowledge,
and attitudes they consider to be important for their administrators. A
source for determining what those might be in a given district would be the
criteria used for the selection and/or the evaluation of the administrators of
that district.
After reviewing the information contained in the CCTC themes, the domains of
the NPBEA, and the standards contained in the CAPSELs, as well as, the
administrator selection or evaluation criteria from the candidate's district,
the candidate will complete the following written assignments:
Briefly compare your district's stated priorities in the
selection/evaluation of school administrators with the curricular themes,
domains, and standards of the CCTC, NPBEA and CAPSEL. For the purpose
of this assignment, the 'principal position' will be used as the reference
point. Copies of a recent school principal job announcement and a copy of
the district's evaluation document for principals will be attached as item #15
below. The purpose of this assignment is three-fold:
You should be
knowledgeable about various constructs of administrative skills and knowledge.
You should perceive the relationship among and between these various
constructs.
You should have a very thorough understanding of what your own district deems
to be important with respect to administrative skills and knowledge.
You may approach this part of the assignment by addressing the
following questions:
? Where does each element in your district's stated selection and
evaluation criteria for administrators fall within the CCTC/NPBEA/CAPSEL
themes/domains/standards?
? Is there any major skill, knowledge or standard area not touched upon by your
district's criteria?
? What are the four or five skills, competencies, and the attributes that your
district states are the most important for administrators?
? Do you agree or disagree with the district's priorities? Why?
? In your judgement, are there other 'unstated' qualities that are important
for administrators in your district to possess?
15. Copies of District Job Description/Announcement & Evaluation
Documents for the ‘principal’ position.
Each candidate is to obtain (and bring with theml) copies of their district's
most recent job description (flyer/announcement) for the principalship AND a
copy of the form or document the district uses for the evaluation of
principals. Obtain both of these documents from your district personnel
office or another source.
16. Candidate Professional Strengths & Areas of Needed Growth
Briefly evaluate your strengths and areas of needed growth vis a vis the
administrative/leadership skills and knowledge that your district deems to be
important. For the purpose of this assignment, use the information
you gained from the copies of a recent school principal job announcement and a
copy of the district's evaluation document for principals from item #15. This
evaluation should take the form of a description of two or three areas of specific
administrative responsibility or skills contained in your district's
selection/evaluation documents wherein you feel the greatest sense of
confidence/knowledge/ability and the two or three areas in which you feel the
greatest need to learn or gain more experience. Evidence or examples of
why you listed a particular strength or weakness should be provided.
17. PowerPoint Presentation on Topic of Expertise
Candidates will demonstrate an area of expertise by preparing and
delivering a professional Powerpoint presentation. The presentation
must include 10-20 slides, contain an audience participation component, and
last exactly 30 minutes. Candidates will provide a presentation title, 50
word abstract by due date. For ideas in preparing for your Powerpoint
presentation, here's last year's abstracts delivered in
http://leadership-innovation.org/powerpts2008.html
Items to Remember:
The audience is Thai. So please take yourself out of your
job/district/location and think as someone 'foreign' might think. What do
they want to learn from you? What can you share with them that will make
THEIR job better, easier, more efficient, etc? Simply highlighting a program
at your school, or some
Make your topic of 'BROAD INTEREST'. The more narrow your topic, the less
likely it will be selected to be featured. Our audiences may be a
cross-section of teachers & administrators. So a narrow focus on high
schools, for example, would be lost if there are elem. principals in the
audience. So, instead you can feature a high school concept/program, but speak
about it from its value across school levels (elem, middle, high)- And how the
concepts of it might be replicated in an elem. or middle school. Another
example, if you were to feature 'autism' (spec. ed.), the abstract and the presentation
should be written for a broad audience (admin., teachers, parents, even teacher
aides), not just autism teachers.
Try to be fun, informal, entertaining and friendly in your presentation.
And remember, many in your audience may speak English as a second
language. So you will need to speak slowly, using common or simple
vocabulary. Your presentation can last
only 30 minutes, no more-- so you won't need as much 'content' as you think-
since you will be needing to speak more slowly.
18. Write/Submit Article for Publication
on Thai Experience to Newspaper or Journal
Candidates will
write an article for publication featuring an aspect of the Thai Leadership
Experience. Areas may include their
participation in the program for local city newspaper, a comparison of schools
in
19.
Summary of Mentoring
Candidates will complete
a description/summary of the mentoring/support the candidate received during
the program including the names and positions of the involved mentor(s), the
issues discussed, the insights/ideas gained from the mentoring, a log of the
mentoring activities, and copies of all communications with the mentors.
For example, use the following format for your document:
SAMPLE FORMAT:
Name of
Issues Discussed:
Insights/Ideas Gained:
Log of Mentoring
(Dates/Times)
Copies of Communications: [available upon request]
20.
Proposal/Plan for Continuing Professional Development
Candidates
will write a proposal/plan for continuing professional development. This should include a brief review of 1)
areas of needed growth, 2) candidate interest, and 3) future professional
aspirations; and their relationship to future plans for professional
development. Remember to use data you
gained from assignments 6-10, and 14 & 15.
21. Final Report +Based on CAPSELs
Using the CAPSELs (California Professional Standards for Educational
Leaders), the candidate will prepare a written report detailing the candidate’s
experiences, challenges, and successes within each of the six (6) designated
standard areas. A significant focus of
this report should be on a reflective analysis of what the candidate has
learned about his/her leadership competencies and his/her growth as a leader as
well as what role continuing professional development will play vis a vis
continued growth. Dr. Orozco will
provide template form for this document.
22. Evaluation by District Representative (#7) on Letterhead
Based on CAPSELs
Using the CAPSELs and the standards of the candidate’s school/district,
the candidate’s district representative (#7) will provide a written assessment
of the candidate’s growth as an educational leader. This evaluation is to be completed on
formal district/school letterhead or stationary. This evaluation will not represent the
district’s summative evaluation of the candidate, but rather will have a more
formative focus in recognition of the developmental nature of administrative
leadership. Given time constraints
confronting school administrators, it is not expected that this will be a
lengthy assessment.
23. Reflection Essay – Leadership & International Experience
Candidate’s reflection of the Thai program, one page single spaced. Questions to be answered will be provided in
GRADING:
Dr. Orozco will review all candidate work for both the Tier II Credential and
the Certificate in International Leadership.
