Data Classification: 1 - Published: DO: Chamberlain Administrator Licensure Redesign Commission Meeting April 7, 2016 Chamberlain Data Classification: 1 - Published: DO: Chamberlain

Administrator Context Lens Developed by Subcommittee: Ability to grow our own – combine with understanding cultural competence/equity 2. The final licensure structure serves the rural or small district population: prepared to wear multiple hats (HR, SPED, etc). Data Classification: 1 - Published: DO: Chamberlain

Administrator Context Lens 3. Clear scope defined – who needs to hold a license; how often you renew; what required to renew – what is the state’s role and what is the district’s role in defining requirements? 4. Endorsements/specializations/ focus on building vs district preparation (career paths). – what should be required and what should be optional? (Related to #3) 5. Keeping it simple – simplify the number of licenses. Data Classification: 1 - Published: DO: Chamberlain

Administrator Context Lens 6. Defensible in all contexts. 7. Out of state: Be more clear about Learning Oregon – (the School Law/Finance context) Focus has to be on OAR/ORS (include licensure knowledge) – not just general constitutional law, etc. 8. Licensure has to serve the districts and not the preparation programs. Data Classification: 1 - Published: DO: Chamberlain

Administrator Context Lens 9. Induction or comparable support required. [example: BITSA program – CA] 10. Reflects clear understanding and preparation for “instructional leadership” (is this a licensure or preparation issue)? Data Classification: 1 - Published: DO: Chamberlain

Issues with Current Administrator Licensure Need to be explicit about the current equity lens and diversity requirements and how it impacts the new licenses. Should duties with the tiers be more explicit? (e.g., should a “Preliminary” administrator be a superintendent?) – Subcommittee currently leaning toward LCA-type of model from Preliminary to Professional How do you prepare candidates with different career goals? Subcommittee exploring endorsement/specializations Data Classification: 1 - Published: DO: Chamberlain

Issues with Current Administrator Licensure Does “Exceptional Administrator” license still meet district needs (review scope)?

Data Classification: 1 - Published: DO: Chamberlain
