Administrator ProCert!

We are now accepting applications for the 2013-2014 Admin Procer Program! 

Program Description

At Pacific Lutheran University, we have created a program that will allow you to complete the requirements for Professional Certification in two semesters. Our Fall - Spring schedule is built with busy administrators, such as yourself, in mind.  Participants earn 10 graduate level continuing education credits for successfully participating in the Admin ProCert program at PLU.

Our program is focused on helping you gather credible and convincing evidence of leadership that positively impacts student learning. You will be guided to use your evidence to create a strong portfolio to submit to the state and university for assessment. PLU has a proven track record of successful presentations and subsequent award of the Professional Certificate for Administrators.  You will also earn 10 graduate level continuing education credits for successfully participating in the Admin ProCert program at PLU. 

PLU is very excited to be able to support your learning with a comprehensive Administrator Professional Certification program with real time online learning. You will meet online with your cohort and facilitator twice each month at dates and times that work with your schedule.  Participants are also able to login to PLU's Sakai system, allowing continuous access to PLU resources including assignments, program materials, and audio recordings of class sessions.
