Program Description

The DBU Principal as Instructional Leader certificate program is designed for the candidate who already possesses a master’s degree and is pursuing principal certification only. This certificate program prepares candidates for all-level principal as instructional leader (TExES 268 and PASL competencies) certification and allows an individual to be considered as a candidate for a wide variety of administrative positions in a school district including assistant principal, principal, subject area coordinator, director, executive director, assistant or associate superintendent, or deputy superintendent. If a student demonstrates sufficient proficiency, course substitutions may be approved by the Master of Education in Educational Leadership Program Director. Substitutions must meet State Board for Education Certification (SBEC) requirements.

Once admitted to the University, students seeking Texas certification need to complete the criteria to become officially accepted and admitted to the Dorothy M. Bush College of Education Educator Preparation Program (EPP). Prior to applying to the Educator Preparation Program, a degree plan must be selected by the candidate and a College of Education program director/advisor. The College of Education faculty and staff are dedicated to helping you achieve academic success and assisting you in achieving your educational goals.

A master's degree, valid teacher certificate, and a minimum of two years of teaching experience after initial teacher certification at an accredited institution are required to qualify for the State of Texas Principal Certification.
