The non-degree program leading to licensure as an Instructional Facilitator and the designation of Lead Teacher is a fifteen (15) credit hour online program. Unconditional admission into Graduate Studies and a current teaching license in any area of licensure for grades P-12 are required for acceptance into the program. The completion of program coursework and a current passing score on the Principles of Learning and Teaching exam (PLT) are required for recommendation for licensure. Successful completion of the Performance Assessment for Teacher Leaders (PATL) is required to add the LEAD Teacher designation. It is incumbent upon students from other states to determine the licensing requirements in their state.
Candidates who enroll after Fall 2024 must complete the program coursework and demonstrate coaching competency through performance by completing Days 1-2 of Thinking Collaborative’s Cognitive Coaching for recommendation for licensure.
