EDU 6319 Principal Practicum I
This course is designed to prepare students to complete the state mandated 160 clock hour administrative internship required for all those who seek a Principal as Instructional Leader certificate. With the assistance of campus leadership, students will actively participate in authentic leadership activities to gain knowledge and to develop skills with each of the pillars identified by the Texas Education Agency as those needed for successful school leadership. While this formal class lasts seven weeks, students will continue to work toward the 160-hour threshold throughout their time in the Master’s program. During the seven-week course, students will read and reflect on one or more of the pillars examining the aligned knowledge, skills, and mindsets (KSMs) and use the
KSMs to develop a work that they will execute to complete the internship hours. At the end of this course students will receive a letter grade of A, B, C, D, or F.
