The Instructional Computer Technology Endorsement (P-12) prepares P-12 certified teachers to infuse technology into their own teaching and to assume positions of leadership in the instructional computer technology use in their schools and districts. Program participants learn how to develop more effective instruction with appropriately infused technology so that all students can learn at higher levels. They develop the skills and dispositions of reflective decision-makers through an endorsement program that prepares them to assess and identify instructional computer technology opportunities in their teaching, to develop technology-infused instruction, and to reflect on and refine the impact of their instruction. Courses can be taken specifically for the endorsement or for the specialization portion of a masters or rank program.

Education Specialist Programs
The School of Agriculture offers a master of science degree. The purpose of this degree is to provide an opportunity for professional agricultural personnel to obtain an education at the graduate level or to prepare for terminal degree work at the doctoral level. Faculty advisors assist students in planning an appropriate course of study to meet their individual goals and to assure a balanced program.
The master of science degree in agriculture provides concentration in agricultural education.

Information for New Students
PK-12 PRINCIPAL AND CAREER TECHNICAL EDUCATION PRINCIPAL CERTIFICATE
Our new program, the Regional Partnership for Principal Preparation is a 30-hour, cohort-based program that culminates in a second master鈥檚 degree and Level 1 School Principal certification. Admission requirements include:
- a master鈥檚 degree,
- three years of teaching experience,
- successful completion of an application and interview during the recruitment period, and
- a letter of support and MOA from your school district.
SUPERVISOR OF INSTRUCTION, DIRECTOR OF SPECIAL EDUCATION, AND DIRECTOR OF PUPIL PERSONNEL
Our central office endorsements are built upon the school principal endorsement. Admission to these endorsement programs requires that you have either a Masters in School Administration or already hold an endorsement in one administrative area and will simply be adding another. For new students, this means that you will need to start in one of the cohorts and complete the Master鈥檚 degree prior to entering into these endorsements. Courses for these endorsements are offered as 鈥榮tand-alone鈥� and not through a cohort. See the Revised Catalog for specific details.
SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT
The School Superintendent program is largely unchanged, as experience as an administrator has always been required for this endorsement. See the Revised Catalog for more details.
OPTION 6 OF THE ALTERNATIVE ROUTES FOR ADMINISTRATOR CERTIFICATION
Since 2001, 糖心logo入口 has offered a means by which school districts can broaden an applicant pool with the inclusion of persons not yet certified. These candidates would then have 2 years to complete all requirements. Effective July 1, 2011 Alternative Certification candidates must be part of a Cohort for initial certification. There are other provisions for the Executive Program and endorsement extension.
