Clear Administrative Services Credential
Applying to the Clear Credential Program (CASC)
Students who wish to begin the CASC Program simultaneously with the Ed.D. program simply
apply to the Ed.D. P-12 Leadership program during the spring prior to the fall start date for the
program. Please visit our Ed.D. admissions page on how to apply. Students do not need to
complete a 2nd application.
Clear Administrative Services Program Overview
California State University, Fullerton, has embedded a fully accredited Clear Administrative
Services Credential (CASC - formerly the Tier II credential) within the Doctor of Education
(Ed.D.) in P-12 Educational Leadership Program. Because California requires administrators to
begin their Clear Credential program within 120 days of starting in their position, Cal State
Fullerton offers entry into the program:
- Students may begin their Clear Credential simultaneously with the Fall start of the Ed.D.
program (apply for the program in the Spring prior to the Fall start date)
The credential program consists of collaboration with certified coach, professional learning
through Ed.D. coursework, professional development completed through a school district, and
demonstration of competence in all six of the California Professional Standards for Educational
Leaders (CPSELs).
Program Components
Collaboration with a Certified Coach
Candidates in the Clear Administrative Services Program will complete a minimum of 40 hours
with a certified coach. This coaching will consist of site visits, on campus face-to-face meetings,
and electronic conversation (telephone, Skype, etc.). Through the coaching process, candidates
will develop in Individualized Induction Plan based on a series of preliminary assessments and
consultation.
Professional Learning Through Ed.D. Coursework
Professional learning is accomplished through the following Ed.D. courses, each of which
includes assignments designed specifically to address the six CPSELs:
- EDD 600: Organizational Theory and Challenges for Leadership
- EDD 604: Forecasting and Planning for Emerging Needs
- EDD 605: Methods of Collection and Analysis of Assessment Data
- EDD 620: Ethical and Legal Dimensions of Leadership
- EDD 621: Leadership of Curricular and Instructional Practices
- EDD 622: Human Dimensions of Reform and Change
- EDD 624: Social Contexts of Educational Politics, Policy, and Governance in PreK-12 Education
Assessment of Professional Competence
After candidates develop an IIP with their coach, this plan is monitored routinely throughout
the coaching experience as a means of ensuring ongoing progress toward the achievement of
final professional competency, which is certified by the coach at the completion of the
program.
