TIER II PROGRAM (UCI)
The
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.

4. PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS:
PROGRAM
PARTICIPATION
Every candidate in the program has the responsibility for its overall quality
and enhances the breadth of perspectives developed by every other candidate. To
fulfill your part, you must be present and participate fully. There will
be seminar activities, field activities, email assignments, in-class
collaborative assignments, and discussions of the topics, readings &
program elements.
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 hotel/apt. address of one or two colleagues for this purpose.

ASSESSMENT PORTFOLIO
Each candidate will demonstrate mastery of educational leadership performance
standards and international leadership activities by preparing a professional
portfolio featuring evidence and documentation.
In addition, candidates will demonstrate a consistent, professional
collaborative ability to discuss their own professional performance with peers

Managed by the candidate, and supervised by the program director, this
assessment will be richly informed by data collected from worksite,
administrator- peers in the district, peers in the program, and on-the-ground in-country. There will be a collaborative review of the
candidate's performance by colleagues in the international program, and the
program director.

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

+Candidate’s Overall Reflections on Data & Future Steps/Actions:
13. Statement of Professional & Career Goals
After
personal reflection on your work, leadership experience, and academic
preparation, candidates are to write a Statement of Professional & Career
Goals. Use and make reference to information/insights you gained from
ALL of the assessments assignments above (#6-12). Use sub-headings to organize your
writing. This document should be at
least one FULL single-spaced page. This
may be one or two pages long. Single spaced to conserve paper. ADD a signature line at bottom of
document for your District Rep’s signature. [To be signed by your district rep AFTER
the international trip]
14. Structure of Mentoring/Support Component [7-mentor minimum]
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

15. In-Country Leader Interview (& job shadow & picture,
if possible)
Each candidate is to seek
out, identify and interview a 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 one-page report (single-spaced).
16. Analyze, Compare & Contrast YOUR District Expectations for
'Principal' with CCTC, NPBEA & CAPSELs [candidates
are strongly encouraged to use the template provided by Dr. Orozco]
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?
17. Copies of District Job Description/Announcement & Evaluation
Documents for the ‘principal’ position.
Each candidate is to obtain and bring copies of their district's most
recent job description
(flyer/announcement) for the principalship [AND, if your district has a FORMAL FORM,
include a copy of the evaluation form used to evaluate principals].
Obtain both of these documents from your district personnel office or
another source.
18. 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. Also, use and make reference to information/insights you gained
from ALL of the assessments assignments above (#6-12). Use sub-headings to organize your
writing. 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 10-25 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/powerpts2009TH.html
Items to Remember:
The majority of the audience is not American. 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 by an audience that will have a choice of different
‘breakout sessions’. 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. Submit for Publication on article on
the International Experience to Newspaper or Journal
Candidates will write an
article for publication featuring an aspect of the International Leadership
Experience. Areas may include their
participation in the program for local city newspaper, a comparison of schools
in Brazil/Thailand and US; human interest article (it people, customs, or ?), reflections on leadership in a foreign country,
insights in global education, etc.
Candidates are invited to be creative in their articles, write about
something that interests you…..
Publication should be to newspapers or journals (professional or
personal) that you use/read regularly, and with which you are familiar. Candidates are to bring name of
journal/newspaper and ‘publication submission guidelines’. Once in-country, candidates will provide an
outline of their article, draft version, and final version for publication. For example, use
the following format for your document.
SAMPLE
FORMAT:
Your Name:
Title of Article:
Name of Journal for Publication:

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. Use and make reference to
information/insights you gained from ALL of the assessments assignments above
(#6-12) AND Principal Job Analysis (#16), as well as your International program
experience, if applicable.
Use sub-headings to organize your writing. At least one FULL
single-spaced page.
21. Final Report +Based on CAPSELs [candidates
are strongly encouraged to use the template provided by Dr. Orozco]
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 (#5) 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 International program, one page single
spaced.
GRADING:
Dr. Orozco will review all candidate
work for both the Tier II Credential and the Certificate in International
Leadership. Program requirements (above)
AND candidate communications/actions/dispositions during the international
program will all be evaluated. Upon
completion of the program, all documents for the Tier II credential are to be
submitted to Dr. Evans, UCI Tier II Director.
Dr. Evans will review candidate work and issue grades for EDUC XI398A-Induction and EDUC XI398B-Final
Evaluation. UCI requires a grade of B or
better to pass the Tier II program.
