Administration of community and alternative education programs
Begins spring 2004!
Unique to the University of Minnesota, this innovative cohort program is designed
to meet the needs of students pursuing director of community education licensure
endorsement or training leading to principal endorsement for those specializing
in alternative education programs such as alternative learning centers, charter
schools, day treatment facilities, etc.
The licensing and leadership development program for educational
administrators can help you achieve endorsement for a director of community education
or principal license, offered through the Department of Educational Policy and Administration
at the University of Minnesota.
Opportunities exist across the state of Minnesota for licensed
directors of community education and principals/directors of alternative settings.
Minnesota is one of the first and only states to recognize the significant contributions
and challenges of quality community education programming by elevating the position
of Director to one that requires licensure. In order to meet the preparation requirements
for this positions, the licensure program offers a cohort experience for the attainment
of the knowledge, skills, and abilities specific to this role. The University of
Minnesota offered the state's first cohort for community education directors under
the current licensing regulations and is committed to continuing high-level training
for this important field.
Minnesota is also a leader in the belief for providing quality
education for each child. As a result, multiple alternative options for education
have emerged such as alternative learning centers, charter schools, academic programs
within treatment facilities, etc. Though the leadership role in these alternative
settings reflects the competencies attributed to a principal, some of the knowledge,
skills, and abilities required are specific to the setting. Through dynamic input
from practitioners leading community education programs and alternative settings,
a relevant program for preparing leaders has been developed and will be offered
to you through the administration of community and alternative education programs
licensure cohort. For more information go to the licensure program website or contact
