EDL 8137 Laboratory of Practice: District Leaders
Each candidate completes 240 clinical or internship hours in the school or district setting. The Laboratory of Practice (LOP) is differentiated accordingly for teacher-leaders, principals, and district leaders. These three laboratories of practice courses align directly to candidates’ chosen pathway(s). The Teacher LOP course results in no additional certifications. The Building LOP course results in administrative certification, allowing candidates to serve as district principals, specialists or directors. The District LOP course results in superintendent certification, allowing candidates to serve as district superintendents or assistant superintendents. Candidates work with a University Supervisor, also the course instructor, and a field-based mentor in their setting to plan and complete leadership activities that align to all seven NELP Standards.
