 Clear Administrative Services Credential (CASC) Program

 Preliminary Services Credential For Administrators

 Introduction

The mission of PCOE's Clear Administrative Services Credential (CASC) Program is to assist and support candidates as they begin their administrative roles, to advance their knowledge and skills in relation to the California Professional Standards for Educational Leaders (CPSELs), and to help them become effective administrators who lead equitable and inclusive educational programs that result in the success of all students.  

The program provides candidates with an individualized induction experience based on the context of their leadership role, including one-on-one coaching by an experienced administrator.  Candidates participate in ongoing formative assessment, professional learning, and networking designed to grow the knowledge, skills, and dispositions that are essential for successful administrative leadership.  PCOE is a Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CTC)-approved educator preparation program.
