ECA 805A-806A Practicum Seminar I-II: Superintendent/Asst Supt (all levels) - 2 credits and 2 credits

This is a two-term 300-hour supervised practicum in a school setting under the guidance of a cooperating practitioner. This practicum allows the development of administrator competencies specific to the superintendant/assistant superintendent position at all levels of the education system. The practicum provides opportunity for experienced professionals to become fully immersed in examining how theory and practice interact in school administration at the district level and its relationship to and impact on state, district, and school policies and practices. Attendance at four seminar sessions is required during the practicum. The seminars, combined with the field experience, focus on current issues in the students' practicum and specifically on issues of the superintendency.
