This final course in the program completes the 300 hours needed for the SBL certificate and focuses on Standard 9 Operations and Management. Students will maintain a log of the final district and building hours as well as complete an integrative project dependent on their intended career path: content area leader/department chair, instructional coach, or building leader as follows:
Content Area Leader: Program Review
Instructional Coach: Team Coaching Plan
Building Leader: Building Strategic Plan
Candidates will be "in the field" conducting the processes for their integrative project. Candidates will attend four seminars during the semester that are intended to continue the cohort professional network as well as extend learning beyond topics covered in the program. They are expected to meet with their instructor once per month to review their progress on their integrative project and internship hours in addition to the monthly log. This course will have 5 evening seminars to share progress on internship field work and learn from topical speakers.
